    Self-taught rocket scientist plans to launch over San Bernardino County ghost town
    By PAT GRAHAM, AP Sports Writer
    The countdown to launch creeps closer and there’s still plenty for self-taught rocket scientist “Mad” Mike Hughes to do: Last-second modifications to his vessel. Pick up his flight suit. Leave enough food for his four cats — just in case anything happens.
