Moreover, the San Bernadino County Sheriff’s office responded to the disastrous rocket collision off Highway 247 in Barstow, according to CNN. NBC News declared that the liftoff occurred at the private property in Barstow. The Sheriff’s Office did not classify Hughes in a report, stating only that authorities had pronounced a person dead at the scene of the rocket wreck, CNN replied.
Hughes has regularly attempted to launch many homemade rockets and succeeded back in 2019 to lift one. During that effort, which struck the most significant extent of 1,875 feet, Hughes got his vertebrae injured, but still tried to thrust even higher.
A faulty water heater stopped attempts to liftoff this new steam rocket back in the summer of 2019. Hughes stated in the past that he believed the Earth was flat. His goals were to find out the Earth’s curvature. ‘Mad Mike’ Hughes was only a daredevil, pushing all the limits to prove his ideas.
