Mike Hughes said the Bureau of Land Management wouldn't approve his plan to use public land for Saturday's planned experiment, so he'll have to move the project to private land next week, the Washington Post reported.
The 61-year-old limo driver said he had received verval approval from the same federal agency just last year, pending an OK from the federal Aviation Commission, the paper reported.
Hughes added that engine trouble in his motor home, which was converted into a ramp, also affected his original launch plans.
“It’s still happening. We’re just moving it three miles down the road,” Hughes told the Post on Friday. “This is what happens any time you have to deal with any kind of government agency.”
Hughes said the rocket will take flight next week, from private property near the Mojave Desert, along Route 66.
If all goes according to plan, Hughes said his stunt will be the first phase of the flat-Earth space program, sponsored by Research Flat Earth, a group that believes Earth is flat.
Climate change deniers, anti-evolutionists, and these flat earth idiots probably feel that with Donald Trump in office this is their time.
After all clearly facts no longer matter, and denying reality seems to be a winning strategy.
However after taking a look at the rocket in that picture up above I think the only thing this Mike Hughes is going to prove is that the human body can disintegrate on impact.
