The highly publicized launch of a Flat Earth fan's homemade rocket looks to be back on track after being scrubbed last year.
"Mad" Mike Hughes made headlines back in November when he announced plans to launch himself inside of steam-powered rocket which he had built by hand.
Alongside the sheer strangeness of that scenario, he earned some additional minutes of fame by way of his reasoning for the bold endeavor: the prove the Earth is flat.
Unfortunately, Hughes faded from the spotlight with a whimper rather than a bang when he was forced to cancel his launch due to a technicality caught by the Bureau of Land Management.
However, he announced to the Philly Voice that the issue has been rectified and the launch will proceed as planned at a rather appropriate time for such a grand spectacle: Super Bowl weekend.
