Jeden z najznámejších podporovateľov myšlienky plochej Zeme, Michael Hughes, zomrel pri lete rakety, ktorú sám zostrojil. Padák z rakety ale počas letu odpadol a Hughes sa tak nemal ako dostať späť v poriadku.
Michael 'Mad Mike' Hughes tragically passed away today during an attempt to launch his homemade rocket. Our thoughts & prayers go out to his family & friends during this difficult time. It was always his dream to do this launch & Science Channel was there to chronicle his journey pic.twitter.com/GxwjpVf2md
