"Hughes only recently converted to flat-Eartherism, after struggling for months to raise funds for his follow-up flight over the Mojave." What a coincidence.

"Hughes only recently converted to flat-Eartherism, after struggling for months to raise funds for his follow-up flight over the Mojave." What a coincidence. I do wonder if he manages to fly high enough to see for himself that the earth is not flat, whether any other people that supported him would believe him or would they just dismiss it as another conspiracy theory. If he's in it for the money though, he'll probably say something along the lines of the flight being inconclusive at best.
