So how he is doing so far? That GoFundMe campaign, titled “Show BoB The Curve“, has raised a whopping $596 at the time of writing.

Here’s the video that comes with it:

Um, OK bud.

Some of the comments on the GoFundMe campaign are beautiful:

Let me get this straight, you want to prove the Earth is flat by putting a satellite in “Orbit?” Ha ha ha ha. P.S. If you don’t get the joke, please look up the definition of orbit.

My personal favourite:

Bro. I am totally with you on this. But we cannot trust anything but our senses. The technology you’re using will make it appear that the earth is round because of the curvature of the lenses mounted on your satellite. The only way to find out if the earth is flat is by going to outer space yourself and ejecting yourself from the spacecraft, because the window glass would also have a slight curvature making the earth look round. Then you have to get out of your space suit, because the glass on your space suit will curve the appearance of the earth. So only then you will see that the earth is in fact, flat.

Do it, B.o.B., in the name of science.

Something fun to check out that’s free – a live stream from the International Space Station:

I would say he should put that in his pipe and smoke it, but I reckon he has had enough puff for a lifetime.
