A GoFundMe-campaign to prove that the Earth is flat. [View all]

https://www.salon.com/2017/09/25/b-o-b-flat-earth/

Rapper and adherent to an antiquated cosmography, B.o.B. won't stop until he proves once and for all that the earth is flat (which means never, because it isn't.)

Last week the rapper launched a GoFundMe page in an effort to raise $200,000 to help "B.o.B. find the curve!" The site says that the donations will go towards the purchase and launch of multiple satellites, all of them designed to help the writer of "Nothin' on You" determine once and for all if we live on a disk or a globe. For those who just want to rubberneck this whole business, B.o.B. "will be keeping you updated with step-by-step documentation of the process!" via a website.

Haha, that's stupid. Everybody knows that the Earth looks round from space because camera-lenses are round. (That's an actual argument of the flat-earthers I once found on Twitter.)
