Rapper B.o.B Wants To Launch His Own Satellites Into Space To Prove That Earth Really Is Flat

Sep 262017

Honestly, the fact that B.o.B is more famous for his flat earth conspiracy theories than his actual rapping career says a lot about him.

Despite all the scientific proof in the world, he is completely convinced that the earth is ‘as flat as a pancake’, and now he now he is dead set on proving this theory. Last week, he launched a GoFundMe page in an effort to ‘find the curve’.

The rapper is hoping to raise $200,000 to help him launch satellites into space in order to prove everything that is already a scientific fact and has been proven before.

“It’s Flat-Earth B.o.B,” he says in a YouTube video posted to the page. “I’m starting a 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. I’m looking for the curve.”

The 29-year-old musician is quite a well-known conspiracy theorist, and he posts a lot about it.

Back in January 2016, he even posted a series of tweets, which he claimed was proof that the earth is flat.

The cities in the background are approx. 16miles apart… where is the curve ? please explain this pic.twitter.com/YCJVBdOWX7

“No matter how high in elevation you are… the horizon is always eye level … sorry cadets… I didn’t wanna be it either,” he wrote. “I’m going up against the greatest liars in history … you’ve been tremendously deceived.”

This even caught the attention of astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson, who hit back with straight up facts.

@bobatl Earth’s curve indeed blocks 150 (not 170) ft of Manhattan. But most buildings in midtown are waaay taller than that.

@bobatl Polaris is gone by 1.5 deg S. Latitude. You’ve never been south of Earth’s Equator, or if so, you’ve never looked up.

The feud escalated with B.o.B’s diss track “Flatline,” and continued with a diss track from Tyson called “Flat to Fact” that he wrote with his nephew. “I’m bringing facts to combat a silly theory because B.o.B has gotta know the planet is a sphere,” Tyson’s nephew raps on the track.

B.o.B’s campaign currently has raised around $650 out of the $200,000, so it’s a long way to go as of now, but if he’s actually able to pull it off, it will be the most hilarious thing ever!

After The Success Of ‘It', Another Stephen King Classic Might Be Coming To The Big Screen Soon

Right now, ‘It’ is literally killing it at the box office, and the movie’s director Andy Muschietti is currently enjoying the massive success of the movie. But he has already set his sights on another Stephen King classic.

Along with working on a sequel to the horror hit, which will focus on the adults who return to finish off the shapeshifting entity, Muschietti, and his sister and producer Barbara, want to remake fan favourite ‘Pet Sematary’.

King’s ‘Pet Sematary’ came out back in 1983 and the horror novel was then turned into a movie in 1989. There was a sequel to it as well that came out in 1992, but did not enjoy as much success as the original.

The 1989 movie starred Dale Midkiff and Denise Crosby as the young parents who move in next to a busy country road and a woodland burial ground, where the dead don’t rest in peace. The late Fred Gwynne played the kind neighbour Jud Crandall, who knows secrets about those woods that he probably shouldn’t have shared. The movie was a huge hit and probably kicked off the trend of King’s novels getting adapted on the big screen.

While talking to Entertainment Weekly, Andy Muschietti said, “My affection for Pet Sematary will go on until I die. I will always dream about the possibility of making a movie.” Barbara added, “We’ll see who gets to it first. But it is the first Stephen King book that we read, and it’s something that has been a great love, because it is possibly King’s most personal book. You can imagine his young family. What will you do to be able to keep your family? How far would you go?”

She continued, “But if we do it, we have to do it justice, like we did with It. The versions we read in the past years, the scripts we’ve read, have not been, in our opinion, representative of the book.”

They have some competition, though. Director Guillermo del Toro has also showed interest in adapting the novel as well.

Book of the Day: PET SEMATARY by Stephen King. Unrelentingly dark and emotional. Compulsive reading. Would kill to make it on film.

But, the bottom line is that it seems like we will get to see a newer version of ‘Pet Sematary’ quite soon, let’s just wait and see who’s the first one to do it though.
