Not to get too tin hatty, but this sounds like the work of Big Spherical to me. Possibly in collusion with Big Darwinism. Watch your backs, my climate change denying brethren, Big Global Warming will sneak skin cancer into you when you least expect it.

Waldo Stakes, a colleague who was at the rocket launch, said Hughes, 64, was killed.

“It was unsuccessful, and he passed away,” Stakes told The Associated Press. He declined further comment.

This is what they call in the scientific community a "lose/lose."

What a hill to die on. Desert, in this case.
Mantle?

man the lengths the Globies will go to silence the opposition, you hate to see it

not even the best Mad Mike ffs

This comic was in today's funny pages, in one of those weird coincidences.

Had no idea they were already using neural networks to generate newspaper strips. It really does look almost like something a human made!

At any rate, this should really be a celebration of someone who died doing what he loved: engaging in reckless activities with the stated purpose of proving something deeply stupid and the implicit purpose of committing messy suicide.

I don't have the data to back it up, but I feel like the overlap between flat earthers and Darwin award winners is pretty sizable.

The flat-earth nonsense about 40 mile tall trees in that article is just a clickbait lead-in for a longer discussion about deforestation and loss of old-growth, climax forests. The proposal that 'in the Big Picture they aren't all wrong' is just the segue to keep you reading about the author's real concerns. He hopes you won't notice that he stops talking about the flat-earther idiocy that fetched you in and you'll imbibe some environmental awareness. It is a stupid rhetorical gambit that won't work nearly as well as the author hopes it will.
