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.

LOL... careful...

You said that "the analog video transmissions from the "moon" were bounced off c.1970 P3 Orions...

to an island...

to a boat... from Austrailia...

to Texas.

That's what YOU said.

And the first oceanic cables were laid in the 1950's but this was telephone line, NOT coaxial cable line. Do you know how long it would take to transmit video over 1960's telephone wires? A VERY LONG TIME. NOT 1.5 seconds.

(But you already know that...)

So, back to your first lie...

you said there was microwave "sight to line of sight" stations from boats to planes to islands, from Australia to Texas in less than ONE SECOND in order for there to be a "remote control" of the zoom lens on the video camera that was strapped to the Lunar Rover Dune Buggy.

Now you are still claiming that there is a 250,000 mile tracking with infrared telemetry from Houstaon to the Moon...

...so Houston could remote control the zoom lens on the camera here?

And then you say there were "chemical batteries" on the "moon" powering all this stuff?

So you are saying that this infrared beam from Houston to the "moon" traveled through the Van Allen Belts and could accurately hit the zoom lens on the video camera left behind on the "moon"...? With the earth spinning at 66600 miles per hour and the moon orbiting the earth at 2,288 miles per hour? Please provide the infrared telemetry math for how Houston controlled such a zoom shot and a tilt shot on the "moon"...

Oh, and please explain the "chemical batteries" that were used on the "moon" to power so much video broadcasting from the Lunar Dune Buggy. (That oughta be rich.) But I'd rather you defend your lunacy (LOL) here... please detail for us how this isn't the greatest hoax in the history of the world: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6vAiyUIQog

Here some engineer deconstructs the actual foil and cardboard, taped LEM on the "moon"... Please defend against this man's decontruct of NASA "engineering quality"... down to the rivets... here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6vAiyUIQog

"I am an engineer and admire the bravery of the few who have attempted to defend this obvious stoned, high-schooler quality prop,(NASA's LEM)."

"The only explanation for such a ramshackle creation I can think of is that it is some crude model created prior to actual fabrication as a rough, to-scale prototype, possibly to help determine possible ranges of distance and ergonomic timing parameters to accurately plan surface activities,. It is absolutely NOT the product of any real engineering process."

For a project of this scale and cost, every part would be manufactured and have fit tolerances of a few thousandths of an inch."

"Highly precise mechanical manufacturing techniques were available at the time, allowing the fabrication of things like precision optics, avionics, and watch-making."

"Every fastener location would be precisely calculated to minimize tension, shear, and stress loads, based on a mathematical load profile model, not randomly taped or glued, nailed, or riveted at random locations."

"There is not a professional engineer in the world who would permit the possibility of a fabrication phase that would let obviously unskilled and sloppy technicians just wing it at the last minute."

"It makes no difference that “panels don’t have to be have to be that precise,” as some have opined, the design process would automatically result in the consistent, and highly optimized placement of every part."

"There would be no use of tape, let alone pipes only half-wrapped! Sticky tape is made from gummy (liquid state) glue."

"Any liquid, exposed to a vacuum, 200 degree+ temperatures, and intense UV radiation would immediately boil, or vaporize."

"Also, the design would never allow for gaps - anywhere. Any gap is a potential for unknown objects or particles to enter locations which could change the weight distribution, or result in unplanned thermal or chemical conditions, and would have been designed out the realm of possibility in the first draft."

"Even a small possibility of something being even slightly dislocated from a precise location would be unacceptable, as this would represent an unknown, which would require much more complexity in design."

"For example, in this case, the engineering design fabrication procedure must have specified something like “now just put tape wherever it looks like something might shake loose, or Lord knows what could happen!”

"Of course this is absurd, but the engineering design process would necessarily have to account for such a ridiculous fabrication variations, and would require an analysis of all the possible places that the fabricator might in fact place the tape, and how those possible tape placements might affect thermal and stress characteristics. It is far easier to simply specify exactly where everything needs to be fastened, as one would expect."

"And WTF are they doing protecting metal struts from the sun anyway?? There are plenty of other exposed metal struts."

"And why are the thruster assemblies different? (see the right side of the NASA-linked picture) and why are there more than what is necessary to provide orientation control?"

"Or, to save on weight, why not have one gimbaled thruster per corner, and aim it in the right direction, using a gravity, acceleration, and altitude-actuated control system? The analog control systems technology to do this had been used in rocket guidance systems for decades."

"I could go on listing absurdities for hours, as could any first year engineering school drop-out, (as could any mechanic, or manufacturing industry worker, for that matter)."

"I’ve never been a moon hoax conspiricist, but if this picture is one NASA actually claims is taken on the moon, it is absolutely certain the entire program was a fraud. If there were something beyond absolutely certain, it would be that."

Dear DaShrimp: Here's another NASA challenge for you, to prove I'm a "lying bastard" (your own words)... Please disprove for us all how the engineer and guy in the video deconstructing the LEM NASA idiocy is wrong.

Thanks and God bless.

P.S. Those non-vacuum sealed rivets are simply amazing! How did the LEM survive? And how did all that Scotch tape survive "space"? Wow.

This is what your pals are calling "radiation hard"?

Ask your NASA-loving friends to debunk the video linked here and be sure to get back to us with their answers:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/3712014/posts?page=301#301

LOL... the "LEM" couldn't get through the loading dock to the Pinewood set intact, much less through "space"!

Apollo program certainly didn't waste any money on rivets... LOL

If you look closely you can see foil, tape, and curtain rods.

Same here ...

Like that flimsy thing could fly!

My new favorite description of the LEM is “radiation hard” to get it through the Van Allen belts!

LOL! NASA so cheap they used the same backdrop for two separate shots of the "moon" here...

Remember at least a trillion dollars of taxpayer's money has gone to NASA.

Thus, paid NASA trolls.

Don't take it personal, just pray the Lord Jesus Christ reveals the deception and spares His sheep.

And then remember what actual Hell those promoting/in NASA are actually walking in... living a lie is pure Satanic Luciferian Hell.

So do YOU want to explain the logistics/mechanics of how NASA in Houston controlled the zoom lens for this shot of Apollo 17's lift off from the "moon"?

You know, the c. 1970 analog color video camera that was left on the “moon” but was “remote controlled” by NASA in 1.5 seconds to get this tilt and zoom shots from the “lunar rover dune buggy” left on the “moon”?

Please give us your expert advice especially on the batteries that would have powered a live TV broadcasting uplink station AND a transceiver on that same camera that was left on the Lunar Dune Buggy...

Go for it here after you watch the “Apollo 17 Lift off from the “Moon” firecracker video.

Lookin’ forward to your wise and all encompassing explanation. Specially the year 1970 battery power explanations. (giggle)

Then will you please explain for all of us how the word "SEX" got written in the fake clouds on NASA's admittedly faked earth image in 2015?

LOL

Please explain it from this article: http://thecoincidencetheorist.com/space/finding-sex-on-nasas-epic-earth-image-once-you-see-it-you-wont-unsee-it/

Sometimes the belief in special knowledge and enlightenment is nothing more than mental illness.

I'm not a trained therapist, therefore there is little I can discuss with you.

Remind all the NASA pimps that GPS was started in the 1940s by the Army.

Then ask him to give you a live daytime video feed of ANY of the satellites or space junk "orbiting" the earth.

(And no, nighttime shots of ISS don't count. Weird name btw... "ISS"? LOL)

Snickering in advance.

LOL.

Your cognitive dissonance is showing.

(You DO understand NASA has admitted that none of its "earth images" are real... correct?) LOL

You are a riot. Love this pearl (one of many):

Please provide the infrared telemetry math...

Yes, I’m laughing at your public stupidity.

LOL back at cha.

You care to explain how NASA in Houston “remote controlled” the zoom lens shot on this camera from the “moon's surface”?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HQfauGJaTs

Infrared telemetry was the idiotic excuse someone else gave to me... still LOLing.
