But US rapper B.o.B. is crowd-funding the launch of satellites to see if he can get some evidence to the contrary.The rapper, whose real name is Bobby Ray Simmons Jr, has been a vocal proponent of the Flat Earth theory - the claim the Earth is, in fact, a disc and not spherical.
He's Going to fund a satellite launch to prove his "theory"? Ok what happens when the results come back saying the Earth is in fact round. Won't he just say it's cgi or photoshopped and thus fake. Oh the irony indeed.

Oh the irony indeed.The same thing would happen when anti-vaxxers fund research and it proves them wrong They will deny the results I am personally frustrated. I have several friends who're flat earthers. Which is curious. I am a researcher myself and I constantly meet and talk to people who're involved in the space programme - real people with real experiments in space. When those friends of mine tell me that the Earth is flat, it's almost like calling me a liar.
Isn't buying a round-the-world plane ticket a whole lot easier and way cheaper ?
