According to a statement by Mike it was never about the Flat Earth stuff. Read on dear reader......sure the Earth was flat, according to the Los Angeles Times.He later told Space.com his beliefs on the shape of the Earth weren’t the reason behind his mission.
“I believe the Earth is flat,” Hughes said. But “this flat Earth has nothing to do with the steam rocket launches,” he added. “It never did. It never will. I’m a daredevil!”
He also cited a “personal desire to inspire my fellow Americans to help make this country great again,” adding that he hoped to be invited to the White House.
Mr Hughes once told AP the flat Earth storyline, along with his age, the launch location and the DIY rocket construction was apart of what made his efforts so “incredible” as a story, but did say the “problem” with the flat Earth theories was that “it brings out all the nuts also”.
