The man who believes Earth is flat said he will try again next week .

“Told me they would not allow me to do the event, at least not at this location. It’s been very disappointing,” Mike Hughes said about the U.S Bureau of Land Management (BLM).

More than a year of hard work was canceled by the Federal Aviation Administration, saying “We can’t honestly aprove it, we just know that you are going to do it there.”

We can be sure of one thing: Nothing is going to stop “Mad” Mike from launching himself in a self-made rocket. He confirmed that his team was ready to leave Wednesday, but the rocket launcher broke down in his driveway.

“We want everyone to please stay tuned,” Hughes said.

His plan is to try again next week, maybe this time with succes.

As he said,

“If you’re not scared to death, you’re an idiot. It’s scary as hell, but none of us are getting out of this world alive. I like to do extraordinary things that no one else can do, and no one in the history of mankind has designed, built and launched himself in his own rocket.”
