"Mad" Mike Hughes plans to ascend to 1800 feet in a $20,000 steam-powered rocket.

He has flown in rockets before, mostly successfully, but was injured by the acceleration.

Despite that he claims "science is science fiction", he used documented engineering formulas because they are known to work, despite that the science behind them is bogus.

It will be live-streamed on Hughes' YouTube channel, possibly also on Pay-Per-View.

    Oh, frojack! Great post as usual. A couple of things you missed. Evel Knievel was from Butte, Montana. Montanans never have to prove anything, because they are Montanans. What you have to watch out for is recent immigrants, those without three generations behind them. And really, Butte is not actually part of Montana.

    Second point! Evel never ever at all aligned himself with wacko people like the Flat-earthers! I mean, there are some things that a Polack from Butte, USA, cannot possibly sign on to, and the flat-earthers is one of those. It is kind of like, for your personal registration, frojack, someone denying climate change only for the lulz, or to be controversial, or to be a Republican. Evel Knievel was no Republican!!!
