Overview
Rocketman is a hilarious glimpse into the true story of Michael "Mad Mike" Hughes, a flat Earther who made headlines around the globe with his attempt to prove the flat Earth by building a homemade rocket to launch himself into space.
It’s hard to separate the film from the material. Overall I think they did a good job showing who these people were, although I would have liked the men to be challenged a little bit more about their beliefs. My jaw almost hit the floor during the interview with Mike’s buddy. He was wishy washy about the flat-earth claim but he was sure as sh** positive that faith is tangible (as he picked up dirt to prove it) and that the bible was a factual record. I am not trying to be critical of a religion here – I am only pointing out this guy’s selective reasoning.
