He was a poorman's Elon Musk. In an interview he compared the risk he takes with blasting off in a rocket similar to that of a boxer going into the ring and risking getting laid out flat (paraphrasing of course). He was always on the level and he'll flat out be missed.

^ LOL Don't know much about the guy, but this description of Mike Hughes looks difficult to argue with.

Some of you may already know that Freddie Mercury is dead, but did you know:-

A suburban London street has been renamed in honor of late musician Freddie Mercury.
The street, now called Freddie Mercury Close, is located in Feltham, west London, which is where Mercury's family settled after moving from Zanzibar.
However, Mercury, born Farrokh Bulsara, did not grow up on that street. The Bulsara family lived nearby at 22 Gladstone Avenue, which is marked with one of the round blue plaques that the UK uses to commemorate places that have historical connections.
The neighborhood, which is close to Heathrow Airport, is also home to a community of Zoroastrians -- the faith that Mercury's family practiced.
Before forming the rock band Queen in 1970, Farrokh Bulsara worked as a baggage handler at the airport.

It's hard to feel much sympathy for a guy who died trying to prove that the Earth is flat. My first thought was, "At least he died before discovering what a fool he was". But then, if you choose of your own volition to fly in a rocket that you admit "will kill you in a heartbeat", perhaps he'd already realised he was a fool long ago and learned to embrace it.

Isn't Elon just a coked out billionaire who tricked everybody into thinking he's a genius because he can throw money at ideas he uses to fuel his vanity? I think he's also a juggalo too.

In the sense that he builds rockets, not in the sense where Elon Musk wants to send people to Mars so they can die from cosmic rays and radiation poisoning.

Maybe Elon's just a desperate Fantastic Four fanboy.
