Seeking to raise $200,000 (£150,000) on the GoFundMe crowd-funding website, B.o.B refers to himself as "Flat Earth Bob". At the time of writing he had raised a little over $650, but the campaign was trending on the GoFundMe site.
'Show me the curve'

"I'm starting this GoFundMe because I would like to send one, if not multiple satellites, as far into space as I can, or into orbit as I can, to find the curve," he said in a video on the page.

"I'm looking for the curve," he added.

The curve which B.o.B refers to is a recurring theme in Flat Earthers' conspiracy theories. Adherents believe that, were the Earth actually round, then the curvature of the Earth would be more visible to the naked eye.

I get conspiracies, but what advantage would people in the know have in saying the world is round? Why would it be worth it?

Played golf the other day with a flat earther. I thought he was joking at first but was dead serious.

This has to be trolling right? Literally anyone who's been in a plane, on a mountain, or on the coast can see the fricking curve.

You can send a cheap weather balloon up high enough to see the curvature.

Still like a good amount of his music but he has ridiculous conspiracy theories entwined in it.

This doesn't surprise me at all and I can't wait for him to be wrong.

Or any satellite picture of earth (or any other planet ever).
