Rapper B.o.B Is Trying to Launch a Satellite to Show the Earth Is Flat
A rapper-turned-flat-Earther is attempting to prove that the world is not round by crowdfunding his own satellite launch.
B.o.B, born Bobby Ray Simmons Jr., is a rapper from Georgia who once recorded a diss track about physicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, after the two got into a Twitter fight in 2016 about whether the Earth is round. The rapper is a member of the Flat Earth Society, a group of people who are convinced that the planet is flat, not round. A scroll through B.o.B's Twitter feed also reveals a number of other conspiracy beliefs: He is an anti-vaxxer, a 9/11 truther and also, for some reason, believes that oil does not form from the remains of organic material buried under pressure.
B.o.B's new GoFundMe has a $1 million goal and has raised $2,701 from 98 people in the five days since he put up the request. (He pledged the first $1,000 himself.) The goal, according to the rapper, is to launch a satellite as far into space as necessary to "find the curve" of Earth.

This is like Ken Hamm announcing that he'll build an ark, stock it with 8 people and 1 to 7 pairs of every kind of animal and let it drift for a year to show that it's feasible. Give the guy credit for his faith.
