"Mad" Mike Hughes plans to ascend to 1800 feet in a $20,000 steam-powered rocket [gizmodo.com].
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.
To avoid criticism, do nothing, say nothing, be nothing.
