"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.

Surely when you combine LOX and Liquid Hydrogen (as used by the space shuttle) in the presence of a flame, you get steam?

What's that sound? *looks up* A rocket launch over my head?
