Over the past few years the Flat Earth conspiracy theory has returned with a vengeance, one only has to look upon youtube to see how videos explaining the idea have garnered millions of views.
As the notion that the earth is not a sphere but is in fact round, gains more and more acolytes, some people within the community have thrown caution to the wind and plan to take more drastic action to prove themselves right.
Enter "Mad" Mark Hughes, who plans to launch himself 600 meters into the air in a rocket he made himself.
He will attempt the insane project this Saturday over the Route 66 ghost town of Amboy in California, land owned by Albert Okura.
A previous attempt to carry out the launch was halted by authorities, who denied that Hughes had permission to use public land.
