Last year he managed to climb to an altitude of 1,875ft at 350mph in his own homemade steam-powered rocket in a bizarre attempt to prove to the world that the Earth is flat.
The launch was a success, with Hughes walking away with little more than a sore back.
Now, more than a year later, he's back for another try and this time he is hoping to ascend to twice the height of his previous attempt - again in the hope of proving that the planet is shaped like a frisbee.
As before, the rocket he will be blasting off in was put together in his own garage.
Given the dangers involved, it remains to be seen whether or not he will succeed a second time.
