Quotes from Mike Hughes

I want to inspire the next man or woman or boy or girl who changes the world, because it needs it.

People want the security, the insurance, the 401K, and all that stuff and it's all crap, OK. There is no such thing as security. What you've got is right now - you don't have tomorrow; you don't have next week. You have right now.

I want you to understand, when I do these interviews, I say a lot of goofy things because that's what people expect me to say. But I never said ever that I was trying to prove the flat Earth with this rocket. It's to raise awareness, to inspire people, to dream - which is what we used to do in this country.

Be responsible for what you do. Don't throw trash on the highway, take care of animals, if you see someone in need you help them. That's what I want people to concentrate on instead of just grabbing everything you possibly can for yourself, which is how we're taught in this country.

A guy who builds his own rocket in his garage, about to jump a mile, is pretty cool. It's the most interesting human-interest story in the world.

I think the world needs this - somebody out there to question everything, and put their money where their mouth is.

I'm not going to take anyone else's word for it, or NASA, or especially Elon Musk with SpaceX. I'm going to build my own rocket right here and I'm going to see it with my own eyes what shape this world we live on.

There's no difference between science and science fiction.

I believe the earth is stationary, but you have to realize I was an atheist for seven years. I just believed everything was a lie - all the wars, that there was no government, that corporations ran the world, that everything was a fraud - that everyone lied about everything.

This flat Earth has nothing to do with the steam rocket launches, it never did, it never will. I'm a daredevil!

Most people just settle - for a job or relationship, or where we live. Here's the strange thing though: when you start going outside the box and questioning things, then people - because we're taught this - start ridiculing you.

I think jumping from one country to another would put me in a place in daredevil history that no one can match.

I'm an old-time cowboy. I'm an outlaw.
