Your question is silly. Real research costs money, lies don't. That is both the how and the why.
With so much funding going towards educating the public on a globe earth
This is your mistake. The funding is going towards educating the public on whatever shaped world this is. It's as silly as saying that education is funded primarily to teach people any singular/individual fact (most of which are proven to be wrong at some point in the future - it is known as the half life of facts) Education does not exist, nor is it funded for this purpose. The shape of the world is not seriously discussed in academia in any case. It's a footnote at best.
Would it not be cheaper to just educate people on the truth?
Lol. You have to have the truth first! You don't educate people with incorrect knowledge on purpose (most of the time anyway) - especially for educators you do it because you don't know any better (i.e. you need to have the truth first, in order to subsequently share it)
You don’t think the billions of dollars given to nasa could be used instead to find out the shape of the surface we live on?
Nasa is primarily a tax embezzlement scheme. You can give them any amount of money and you will almost never get anything of value back, and certainly nothing ever worth/justifying the investment.
This is indisputably factual regardless of what shape the world is, and wether or not "outer space" exists and nasa actually travels there (and/or back). It's the reason for the apollo 13 episode, because audiences had already completely tuned out and wanted to withdraw funding during episode 12.
People that trust the government almost deserve their constant abuse by them. Almost.
Right well that's my whole point. Why funnel a bunch of money to nasa, a whole authority on space science, and in particular a globe earth, instead of putting it to research?
I'm going to have to stop you there. It seems you have answered your own question doesn't it? They steal huge amounts of taxpayer money for the money. It isn't hard to understand!

Who said money isn't going to research?
