(8)An American man who wanted to prove that the earth was flat, saying that rounding the earth was a fabrication, crashed into a homemade rocket CNN and other media reported that Mike Hughes64, an American Daredevil adventurer, was killed in a crash in the Mojave Desert in Los Angeles, California, on the 22nd
(9)The scene of Hughes’ crash was filmed directly by a U.S. science channel camera in the desert to film a new TV series “Homemade Astronut,” which introduces amateur rocket makers. With the goal of reaching 15 kilometers in the air, Hughes, who was on a homemade rocket, disappeared from view at a rapid pace shortly after launch But more than a decade later, the rocket, which reappeared in view, plunged straight into the middle of the desert, and Hughes, who crashed in the screams of people, died on the spot
(10)Local media said Hughes’ rocket reached an altitude of about 600 meters and crashed at a speed of 56 kilometers per hour, and the parachute fell to the ground upon the rocket’s launch Hughes’s grand plan to prove that the Earth is flat eight years after he first began experimenting in 2012 went up in smoke
(11)Hughes, who worked as a limousine driver in the United States, firmly believed that the earth was round was a huge conspiracy theory Neil Armstrong, who stepped on the moon for the first time, also thought it was a trick. His lifetime goal was to climb to the Kalman line, the boundary between the Earth and the universe at an altitude of 100 kilometers, to see with his own eyes whether the Earth is round or flat and take pictures

(13)To this end, I put a lot of effort into making a homemade rocket Due to insufficient circumstances, he made his first flight two years later after his first test in 2012 failed completely On January 30, 2014, he reached an altitude of 420m, but had to be on crutches for a while due to his injuries at the time of landing
(14)But Hughes didn’t give up until the end and started raising money with the goal of flying in 2016 However, only two investors raised 370,000 won. Sponsored by a group with similar beliefs after twists and turns, he once again boarded a rocket in the Mojave Desert, California, on the 22nd amid media attention But the accident left the dream of a manned rocket disheartened
