This is not a joke, at least, it doesn't appear to be one. Rapper B.o.B, whose real name is Bobby Ray Simmons Jr., plans to raise money to launch satellites so he can finally prove the Earth is flat to all of us. I'm not sure why the thousands of other satellites and images from those satellites aren't good enough. But sometimes, you've just got to do it yourself.
A large proportion of flat-Earthers believe the Earth is a disk with sort of dome over it containing our atmosphere. Above that, the Sun, stars, and moon all do a dance above the disc-shaped Earth.
B.o.B has tweeted several times that because objects in the far-off horizon don't appear to curve, the Earth must be flat.
The GoFundMe campaign plans to launch multiple satellites into space, which will allow the rapper to observe and disprove the widely held belief that the Earth is not flat. He's looking for just $1 million, a small price tag to completely upend one of the most basic understandings of our solar system.

I have zero tolerance for this bullshit. Maybe after he spends a million dollars on satellites , he'll believe what he sees, but i doubt it. There's plenty of proof out there already.

Pay for Neil deGrasse Tyson to travel to wherever you and your fellow flat-earthers are. Heck, invite some congresspeople, who are undoubtedly flat earth sympathizers. He can give you private presentation, answer all your questions, etc.
Stupid seems to know no bounds anymore.
