"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.

The whole 1800' thing is the funniest part.
Take your GoFundMe money and have a trip to a (not recently Hurricane ravaged) Caribbean island, buy a nice video camera and get a window seat on the commercial flight, stream the whole trip - you'll get to 30,000+'.
Or, spend about $800 on a weather balloon video rig that actually gets high enough to see curvature.
I suppose if you never get above 1800' altitude or a mile downrange, the earth might as well be flat - for your purposes.
