Mr Hughes once told AP the flat Earth storyline, along with his age, the launch location and the DIY rocket construction was apart of what made his efforts so “incredible” as a story, but did say the “problem” with the flat Earth theories was that “it brings out all the nuts also”. He also cited a “personal desire to inspire my fellow Americans to help make this country great again,” adding that he hoped to be invited to the White House. But “this flat Earth has nothing to do with the steam rocket launches,” he added. “I believe the Earth is flat,” Hughes said. He later told his beliefs on the shape of the Earth weren’t the reason behind his mission. Prior to a previous launch Mr Hughes told AP he wanted to fly into space to make sure the Earth was flat, according to the Los Angeles Times. "Mad" Mike Hughes reacts after the decision to scrub another launch attempt of his rocket in March of 2018.
