February 22, Barstow, California — “Matt” Mike Hughes, popular Flat Earther, was ready to, once again, launch himself into the air and attempt to prove modern science wrong by getting photographic evidence that the world is disc-shaped.

His prior attempts, although successful at launch, failed to reach a height of 1,525 metres that he claimed he needed to get to, to prove the Earth was flat.

In 2018 Hughes’s second launch, although beating his initial launch to 418 meters, barely reached 550 meters. Regardless, Hughes was confident that he would make it to 1,525 metres this time.
