A home-made rocket by Mike Hughes, a self-taught rocket scientist, is launched near Amboy, California, March 24, 2018. The self-taught rocket scientist who believes the Earth is flat propelled himself about 1,875 feet (571.5 meters) into the air before a hard-landing in the Mojave Desert that left him injured. The 61-year-old limo driver converted a mobile home into a ramp and modified it to launch from a vertical angle so he wouldn't fall back to the ground on public land. (Photo/Agencies)
