Some days ago, rapper B.o.B made headlines after launching a GoFundMe page to finance a rather odd project; sending a satellite into space to take pictures that prove that the Earth is flat. He actually believes the Earth will look like a map.
Needless to say, that's utterly absurd. There are already countless images of the Earth from space, all of them showing a huge old round globe. No amount of questions like this on Twitter will ever change that:
The cities in the background are approx. 16miles apart... where is the curve ? please explain this pic.twitter.com/YCJVBdOWX7

Nevertheless, NASA astronauts, amazing as they are, have taken time out of their busy schedules to save B.o.B a few U.S.D.
First was Terry Virts, a person who has spent a lot of his time on the International Space Station. He confirmed he has seen just how round the Earth is.
I can save BoB a lot of money- The Earth is round. I flew around it. https://t.co/F7qAovPEng @bobatl @BBCWorld

Buzz Aldrin, who was the second man on the moon, also responded.
I did too. It's called an orbit: the curved path of a celestial object around a star, planet, or moon. https://t.co/h8GQJadfxD

NASA astronaut Scott Kelly also had a piece of advice for B.o.B, as well as a video proving that the Earth is round. If the rapper takes the 35 seconds required to watch it, he'll realize just how round the world is, and he'll also save his GoFundMe donors the $200,000 he is asking for.
Show you the curve? Here you go @bobatl! One full orbit around Earth. Maybe donate funds raised to #PuertoRicoRelief https://t.co/bhJSXfwYXL pic.twitter.com/rFAysS2clc

His money could be better spent on Puerto Rico relief.
Others who have traveled around the Earth in less glamorous ways were also willing to offer evidence to B.o.B via Twitter.
I've sailed round 1/2 of it & can confirm it's a globe! You can see the tops of high clouds over the horizon fir a start.

So did all of this proof directly tweeted at B.o.B from all those who have seen the Earth from space convince the rapper? Of course not. Not even close. He still seems to believe that he's getting close to the truth.
People usually discourage you from doing something when they have something to hide 😉

ReplyDeleteAfter being in relationship with him for seven years,he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to someone online and she suggested that I should rather contact a spell caster Dr Oriafo that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that never believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I mailed the Dr Oriafo and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days my ex will come back begging. I thanked him in earnest hoping he will come back to me because I miss him so much.To my very surprise on the 3rd day he came back begging and asking me to accept him back and he will never leave me again. All this would never had been possible but for Dr Oriafo I will always and forever recommend you to the world Dr Oriafo This is his contact below: herbalsolutionhome@gmail.com or call +13103599685
