November 27, 1955, popularly known as Bill Nye the Science Guy, is an American science communicator, television presenter, and mechanical engineer. He is best known as the host of the PBS and syndicated children's science show Bill Nye the Science Guy (1993–1998), the Netflix show Bill Nye Saves the World (2017–present), and for his many subsequent appearances in popular media as a science educator. The US Scientist Bill Nye is crowd-funding the launch of satellites to see if he can get some evidence to the contrary that earth is not flat. The scientist whose real name is Barney Stinson Simmons Jr, has been a vocal proponent of the Flat Earth theory - the claim the Earth is, in fact, a disc and not spherical.
Some proponents of the Flat Earth theory claim NASA employees guard the edge of the world to prevent people falling off and tweeting about it as the plummet to their death.

SHOW ME THE CURVE!
The curve which Bill Nye refers to is a recurring theme in Flat Earthers' conspiracy theories. Adherents believe that, if the Earth were actually round, then the curvature of the Earth would be more visible to the naked eye.
It is not the first time that the Scientist has voiced his doubts. In 2016 he became embroiled in a Reddit spat under the username Spacetripper with renowned astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson.
Here are a few excerpts from their conversation:
"The cities in the background are approximately 16 miles apart," he said, posting a picture of the skyline on the horizon.
"Where is the curve? Please explain this".
Neil DeGrasse Tyson was on hand to do just that.
"Earth's curve indeed blocks 150 foot of Manhattan," he wrote. "But most buildings in Midtown are waaay taller than that".
.Some of Nye's most irrational supporters of his true claims have donated over $6.1 million to his campaign. Those who have donated to Bill.'s campaign have expressed there unconditional support for his bravery for being the first scientist of importance to take such a controversial stand on the round Earth theory.
"When/if you do make sure you let me know," one person who donated $20 wrote. "I've been trying to tell folks that there is no curve, therefore the Earth is not a globe". says one of Bill's supporters.
