Many flat earthers and space deniers believe that NASA not only stands for the "National Aeronautics and Space Administration" but, in Hebrew, means "to deceive" or "lie", for example:
A dot above the right hand side of "shin" represents the sound "sh" (called "shin dot") while a dot above the left represents the sound "s" (called "sin dot").

"נָשָׁא" (nasha') is used in the KJV in the 16 times, across 15 different verses.

The Hebrew word that we pronounce as "NASA" (or, more correctly, "na-sar") is actually the slightly different "נָשָׂא", which is a primitive verb root meaning "to lift, bear up, carry, or take":
"It would not at all surprise me if NASA knowingly pulled a fast one on us. It is a well known fact that the Illuminati always puts their real intentions out 'in plain sight' for all to see. But only those with eyes to see will."

In the King James translation of the Bible, it is used 654 times in 611 verses, and not one of those uses is related to "deception":Definition

The primitive verb root which in Hebrew means "to beguile" or "to deceive" is "נָשָׁא", as quoted above, which is transliterated as nasha' (pronounced "na-shar"). They are easily confused, not only in English, but for those not familiar with Hebrew: the only difference being the location of the dot above the middle letter ("shin").Usage of "נָשָׂא" in KJV:
up 219, bear 115, take 58, bare 34, carry 30, (take, carry) away 22, borne 22, (armour) bearer 18, forgive 16, accept 12, exalt 8, regard 5, obtained 4, respect 3, miscellaneous 74
