上周六,美国“大胆侠”Mike Hughes试图乘坐自制的蒸汽推进火箭飞上地球和太空的边缘,结果出现意外,当场身亡。
早在2018年,Mike 就曾经在一个科学频道的节目中乘坐自制的火箭升到了1875英尺高空,最后在加州莫哈韦沙漠着陆,背部受伤。2月22日,Mike 希望搭乘新的自制火箭俯瞰地球,只为证明“地球是平的”,并将飞行高度定为5000英尺。

一名作家Justin Chapman亲眼目睹了此次事故,在他放出的视频中可以看到火箭刚飞向天空,降落伞就意外飘走,但Mike却并未出现在降落伞中。“很多人尖叫 ,并开始嚎啕大哭”。随后,火箭继续往上冲了20秒并开始失去控制,最终坠毁在沙漠中,Mike当场身亡。
科学频道发推表示,“在这个艰难的时刻,我们为他的朋友和家人祈祷,这始终是他梦想的一次升空,科学频道将会在那里记述他的旅程。”
