"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.

    It's a gentle hill, so gentle that their brains interpret it as flat.

    If there were gentle valleys to cancel out the gentle hills, then on a clear day you could see miles and miles across them, but we don't have those, do we?

    The whole thing is an argument from the point of view of someone who never travels, or thinks, much.
