The business of the former limo driver, which won the record of the length of the jump on his third attempt, had been sustained by Homemade Astronauts, a Tv series about amateurs who try to build rockets, that was to be broadcasted on the american channel Science Channel. In a tweet of condolences to the family, Science Channel wrote that Hughes is dead, chasing his "dream".
