Stephen Curry is pretty sure the moon landing was faked, just in case you cared
Yahoo Sports ^ | December 10, 2018 | Ben Rohrbach

I think what we’re learning here is that NBA players are huge fans of conspiracy theories.

Nearly two years after Kyrie Irving said the Earth is flat on a podcast with then-Cleveland Cavaliers teammates Richard Jefferson and Channing Frye, fellow All-Star point guard Stephen Curry informed us that man never landed on the moon during an appearance with Golden State Warriors teammate Andre Iguodala on a new podcast featuring Atlanta Hawks players Vince Carter and Kent Bazemore.

Curry even tipped his cap to Irving, suggesting, “They’re gonna come get us,” an ode to the social media firestorm that followed Irving’s revelation and ultimately resulted in an apology from the star.

What did Stephen Curry say about the moon landing?

Following a conversation about marijuana-inspired memes and the question of how filmmakers could possibly know what dinosaurs sound like, Curry asked around the 47-minute mark of the podcast: “We ever been to the moon?” When everyone in the room responded in the negative, Curry agreed: “I don’t think so, either.” Cohost Annie Finberg asked if Curry was being serious, and Curry confirmed he was.

Now, that’s a start. Call me when another entity other than NASA sends a living thing to deep space and back. Until then, keep researching.
I wish I was better at html. I’d link a Forbes article on global warming. You can use it to prove man made global warming is real.

As I’ve noted, NASA says that video from the moon was fed to a Deep Space module, where the huge recording machine with 1” tape was rolling. On batteries.

Where in the heck does NASA say that??

This is from the NASA (NAZI!!!!) Website

"The signal originated on the Moon, traveled through the emptiness of space back to Earth, and was received by tracking stations on the ground in Goldstone, California; Parkes, Australia; and Honeysuckle Creek, Australia. These three tracking stations recorded the original signal that included the television video, as well as voice, telemetry, and biomedical data. The data was recorded onto magnetic tapes, and simultaneously converted into a U.S. broadcast format for transmission to Houston and final release to U.S. television networks. The equipment used to convert the signal unfortunately caused some unavoidable loss of image quality."

OH and by the way the article I took this from is about the "lost" tapes which you seem to make a big deal of. NASA doesn't consider them "lost"...and they have 1st generation copies of the very few that are in storage somewhere.

OK, I watched the first video and saw nothing out of the ordinary. A camera could have easily had a built in mechanical timer to start a sequence matching the expected moment of boost to then zoom out and pan up. Are you an engineer? Didn't think so.

Your explanation is much sounder then the whacky theories...but the camera was actually controlled remotely from earth. The following video shows the camera and outlines how it was done:

It is not far enough away, clearly. Sorry, but it will take more than some guy’s claims on youtube to convince me that what we’ve known for at least 2,500 years is wrong. Everything we can observe is easily explained by a round earth. No so with a flat earth. Occam’s razor. How do you explain why the sun is always about half a degree in angular diameter, if as the flat earthers say it is constantly moving towards and away from us again, from only a few thousand miles? How can it be night in Europe while daytime in the U.S.?

Hey Sontagged...here's a video where they actually perform an experiment to SEE the curve and figure out the drop over distance using telescopes and a helicopter. Warning: You may be triggered by it:

Von Braun is only interesting to me in that he believed so strongly in Psalm 19:1/the existence of the Firmament, he put it on his grave stone

You're still holding to this??

Psa 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork. 

Not surprising. Von Braun became very religious. He helped design rockets that went through the firmament and reached space. Yet you're completely making up a story that you think that Von Braun believed that the "firmament" is an unpenetrable barrier around the earth. His entire LIFE, practice, thoughts, words and public documentation completely dispel this idiotic notion.

Here is how you do html.
<a> the a between the angle brackets stands for anchor
Anchor can take attributes. One of them is called href. Which stands for html reference. So it looks like this:
<a href='put the the html link here'>You get the link by copying and pasting from your browsers address and search bar. Then you put some text between the begin anchor inside of single quotes which looks like this:
<a> the end anchor looks almost the same but with a slash. </a>
So you put it all together and here's an example of a link that goes to google:
<a href='http//google.com'>This will go to google </a>
This will go to google
And that amounts to doing some research that works on html.
But it's much harder to get to Stephan Curry's level in the NBA.
And it was equally hard as what Stephan does to get a bunch of nerdy engineers to work together as a type of working heads down family - to go to the moon in the 60's. And I would say the equivalent to get a computer to go through the network running on electricity on routers so we can chat.... ha ha ha.

Research the Van Allen Belt. It will answer all 4 questions you posed.

1. The Empire Sate Building is in our earth’s atmosphere. AKA within the Van Allen Belt. 2. Planes flying at 35,000 feet are in our earth’s atmosphere. AKA within the Van Allen Belt. 3. Those satellites circling our planet are technically in our earth’s atmosphere. AKA within the Van Allen Belt.

Are you serious?? Neither the Empire State building or airplanes are anywhere NEAR the Van Allen belts. Some satellites might enter the region..not sure..I would think they would program the orbits to avoid it due to possible radiation damage.

4. The Moon is not in our atmosphere and well beyond the Van Allen Belt.

Well that's ONE thing you got right!

During the space race of the ‘60’s no other country (Russia and China) sent any living thing (plant or animal) outside of the Van Allen Belt that didn’t come back x-rayed to death. But, we did. Our government would never lie to us either.

Of course we did...because we spent billions and billions of dollars that the the other countries didn't have. The craft we sent out were shielded. The shielding is sufficient to stop nearly all radiation although there is slightly more exposure then a typical earther.

I read on a NASA website that in the most intense regions, the Van Allen belts deliver 1/4 rem per hour to a satellite that is protected by 1/8" plate aluminum. It takes about 100 rems exposure to make a person sick. So the radiation is not that intense. Easy to cross in a few hours.

But if you listen to the conspiracy theorists, it's like a microwave oven. Where are they getting their information if not from NASA?

Solar radiation is easily shielded against since it is charged. Cosmic rays not so easy. The only thing that blocks it is mass, and then only partially.

Here ya go! https://www.lpi.usra.edu/lunar/missions/apollo/apollo_17/photography/

The RCA television camera (LM4) used on the lunar surface could be operated from three different positions: mounted on the LM modularized equipment storage assembly (MESA), mounted on a tripod and connected to the LM by a cable, and installed on the LRV with signal transmission through the lunar communication relay unit. While on the LRV, the camera was mounted on the ground-controlled television assembly.

The camera could be aimed and controlled by the astronauts or remotely controlled by personnel in the mission control center. Color was achieved by using a rotating disc driven by a 600-rpm motor.

Lunar color scenes were scanned, field sequentially, and down-linked serially to the Manned Space Flight Network. Video was received and recorded from lunar distance at any of the three Deep Space Stations.

"Deep Space Stations" were fed either 2"or 1" video tape, because that was easiest and was the standard for editing... if this was in fact video tape in the Apollo 17 lift off.

Not sure what "tracking stations" they are talking about ... but for SURE there was NOT a 1.5 second relay to Earth that would allow zoom and tilt on the color video camera to watch that toy take off and go up -- Apollo 17 footage.

Now, DouglasKC, please calm down. I'm not sure why this gets you so upset... this is just natural inquiry into how the creation of our Creator made things... it's all okay... The Lord knows the truth and it is our Christian duty to seek out the truth.

Remember the scariest thing in the Bible is:

"And those who no longer love the Truth, God will send a strong Delusion, so that they believe a Lie"...

We have to remember Truth does exist, and earnestly seek it, knowing that God is pleased with us when we do...

What’s even funnier is NASA says “they no longer have the technology to go to the moon” and they no longer can get through the Van Allen Belt... (coughFirmamentcough)

Whoops...there you go again. Show me where NASA said any of this IN THE CONTEXT you mean. You're completely lying.

And, hey! How did that astronaut in the picture get exposed perfectly even though he’s in the middle of the shadow of the lunar module. That’s crazy. I wish I knew something about photography and staging shots.

Here's a great video with a presentation by someone who is an expert in photography AND staging shots. They prove that the moon landing was real.

The article I read was riffing off this famous video, with this lunatic (no pun intended) NASA guy's discussion:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4O5dPsu66Kw

These comments reflect my take, too.

Stevan Terzic

Get ready for Mars Landing people....this time we won't be able to find the fakery...with the current CGI Technology it will look indistinguishable.

Alex Gutierrez

“Sensors aboard will record radiation levels for scientist to study, we must solve these challenges before we send people through this region of space.”

CharlieSierra

I want my money back from purchasing Apollo 13

JonathanAnon

Why don't they just jump start the old Apollo space craft and send it to the moon again. No point in reinventing the wheel :-)

SiGUY E

Soooo.....They are saying they never went to the moon in 1969? Jason Ray

So easy back in the 60s

Adventures & Survival in Thailand

he's talking like Apollo never happened ?? totally weird

Why is it alway’s NASA? No. For real, why is it that in all of these kinds of video’s it’s alway’s an American organisation that is supposedly faking everything. Never do I see stuff like this about the Russins, Chinese or Europeans. Am I missing something? Because to me it seems very unlikely the US would have the power to supress every other county to make sure they don’t leak out thier secrets. Feel free to correct me...

Spencer Jarvis To the people saying that in 1969 we didnt go through the belts, we avoided them, went around them... ok, so why are we going through them on this orion mission? why are we not avoiding them again?

Frank M They should just use 50 year old tech from the 60's. There problem solved.

Matt x What I don't get it how they justify having to do tests to get through the belts, when they supposedly already have many years ago now.

Mike Rusby someone called alan went to the moon in a van? or did I read it wrong:) G Heald

Answer the question. How did the Apollo astronauts survive these belts with no affect on their rudimentary computer if you now have to figure out how to get through them?

Vince Wynne

Godspeed Neil Armstrong - we're gonna be televising the ENTIRE THING. Better not DIE up there. Nah...never happened. Hollywood production, fantastic piece of film history. Kubrick's uncredited finest work.

KMURPH311 You numb nuts who think it didn’t happen in the sixties/seventies need to do yourselves a favor and quit commenting. Today’s technology is far more susceptible to radiation/emp/ etc. than the vacuum tubes and hydraulics used back then. Computers as we know them today were a thing of fantasy when Apollo launched.

It is a completely different ball game today. And the shielding isn’t as complicated. This video is created to make this interesting to the general public. And “fear” sells. “Watch what happens” sells

You all probably think the earth is flat as well.

Go eat your tide pods

Barry Mayson

The computers that sent men to the moon you can now get onto a fly's balls. The radiation affects from long distances and also the radiation belts can kill a modern computer fastest than EMP. The shielding test I suspect are for the electronics but the one of the best shielding is plain water. I watched the moon landings live and do you think at the height of the cold war Russia was not monitoring every thing and would have not have accused the landings as false!!! The technology to fake them was just not available. The moon is nothing it has some resources but the economics to get them would be stupid.

No reason to spend billions to build a base! The main point of the race to the moon was political it was to beat Russia as they had the first satellite then the first man in space the US wanted something to wave about!

The Last Kingdom Hm..... so they can safely pass the van allen belt back in 60s twice, once going up and once going down with no concern of its danger, now were like... this stuff is dangerous one going up and once going down.

Oksanna Zoschenko Is it just me or did anyone else notice how Orion looks similar to the old Soviet rockets?

Jam Rock So China went to moon and back recently but the USA somehow forget how to return. Well simply because they never went to the moon before....🤔

J Rizz Scientific theory is theory. Therefore, a theory is a theory and theories are derived by attempts to make a certain phenomena truth. Theory is not fact and they are always being debunked by another theory. Since science is based on theory, it’s their way of placing the “did you read the fine print before signing?” To cover their behinds. Now Pluto isn’t considered a planet anymore??? When in grade school 25 yrs ago they taught kids it was. Challenge yourself and all that you hear, just don’t speak on it until you have hard objective proof.

Meanwhile I’m off to watch Elon Dunse and his Tesla fly around in outer space, I hear they are Flyving to Mars. How cool is that? GROUND BREAKING!!!!!! Great Scott!!!!

Roy Mackey He says at 3:35 that "we must solve the challenges of the Van Allen belts before we can send people through this region..."

Wait a minute.... I thought we already did!!! : ) If he keeps making mistakes like this he could end up shooting himself in the back of the head. At least if you believe the stories about others who have made mistakes like this in the past and put themselves on the sucide list.

MrThehbus All except maybe 1 of the Apollo astronauts lived to old age. When they supposedly made journeys through the Radiation Belt, and didn’t die. Now in 2017 NASA is trying to figure out a safe way to go through it again? I have an idea use the same shield you used during Apollo that should work. People will believe nonsense simply because “authority” tells them to.

Axelito Deejay I thought they solved these challenges back in 1969? Thats some bullshit! Like Chuck D once said... Can't Trust it!!!

Forgot to post the title!

NASA ENGINEER ADMITS THEY CAN'T GET PAST THE VAN ALLEN BELTS ANYMORE

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4O5dPsu66Kw Forgot to give the title here.

P.S. Douglas KC, you have to calm down.

Again, it's all okay, you don't have to be so upset, this is just inquiry into the nature of God's creation, something that we are duty-bound to do.

Especially when we know NASA is a liberal, Islam-loving, Climate Change loving, UN loving organization.

Conservatives need to beware all liberal orgs... like NASA

So your source is the COMMENTS section on a video of a NASA engineer that a flat earther renamed to "NASA Engineer Admits They Can't Get Past Van Allen Belts". And in this video the engineer is talking about the Orion program and HOW they're goal is to send a man to Mars.

Ummmm...he NEVER SAID they can't get past he Van Allen belt. THAT'S a MISLEADING statement BY a critic of NASA.

NASA never said it or admitted it. It's fantasy by lying flat earthers who can't win an argument any other way.
