Washington: In order to prove that the earth is not round, an American astronaut has died in California. To prove his view, the Astronaut flew into the sky on Saturday with a rocket he had built. But as soon as his rocket went up, it exploded with blast and all its debris spread below. The name of this astronaut is Mike Hughes, he is also known as 'Mad' Mike Hughes.

Science channel has given information about this incident on social networking site Twitter. He wrote on Twitter that, 'Hughes always wanted to launch in space.' Hughes was also a limousine driver, a Guinness World Record for 'Longest Limousine Ramp Jump' is also recorded in his name. In 2002, Hughes jumped his limousine car from a height of 103 feet (31 meters).

A video shows that as the rocket moves upwards, its parachute explodes. The steam-flying rocket must have gone up, but it fell to the ground in just 10 seconds. In the video you can hear the strange sound of rockets falling in the desert. Witnesses say that the rocket crashed into a lower surface while launching, causing a crack in the rocket's parachute. This is the biggest reason for the accident.
