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.

You need to seriously ask yourself why the UN and NASA use flat earth maps and then push such fakery on Americans...

You'll find the answer is in the luciferian beliefs of those who founded both organizations. And they hate JudeoChristians and conservatives...

You are truly a dumb ass. Nothing even funny about that.

I have found over the years here that a high percentage of these folks who hold kook theories while pretending that God 'told them to do it' harbor aberrant theology also.

Just an observation..

Great archive reference Thorn. It will be lost on Suntagged, but good on you for the effort.

I am mostly laughing at it, but yes, it’s sick behavior.

I'm sure Sontagged has a really excellent explanation for this..

Lunar Laser Ranging experiment

And completely ignored in his/her/its re-writing of history is the fact that back then there was this minor thingie called the cold war. We weren't relying on the Ruskies to get us to orbit and beyond, we had to do it ourselves. You can bet that the Ruskies were also watching/monitoring what was going on in orbit and on the moon. They would have no reason to 'cover up' a faked lunar landing or two or three or.. for our benefit. As a matter of fact, they would have been the first to drop the expose story.

The fact that they could not disprove the beat-down in prestige they received from the USA's accomplishment says more than all the phony EweToob videos these flat earth no space travel kooks can conjure up..

So this Sontagged kook and his/her/its alter ego/mini-me/partner in error are way too late to this game.

Okay, then put your big boy thinking cap on...

and explain the silly putty engineering on NASA's LEM for us all...

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."

Not me... I believe in the primacy of the Word:

“In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word WAS God... and the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us.”

All you need to remember is that actual occultists at the UN and NASA use a "flat earth" map...

Asshat, you need to stop with the childish replies and watch a good documentary like “In the Shadow of the Moon” which would answer all your silly questions. Hell, you’d learn something from even docudramas like “From the Earth to the Moon” or “The Right Stuff”. Put down the crack pipe.

Like I said, reverting to personal abuse just proves you have NO argument.

Yet, you’ll believe a liberal, Climate-Change loving org like NASA?

No personal abuse at all. You proudly wear “dumbass” in big red letters on your forehead. I’m just stating the obvious.

So there Sontagged, your alter ego got zotted. You’re next.

But in the meantime, here’s a thought question. I hope it is not to difficult for you to comprehend. Suppose I went to a certain location and then came back to my original point of departure. How would I prove claims that I had actually visited the place I claimed to visit?

Answer this first before I continue this thought question. This is by way of testing if you are capable of rational thought. (By the way, there are more than one possible answers so you get extra brownie points if you come up with several.)

He won’t answer your question. I think he is just a disruptor. He will just respond with more fake photo shop memes. Bet on it.

Do a little research into the nuke moratorium and resumption of nuclear testing during Operation Fishbowl and Operation Dominic and ask yourself why our arch enemies, the Soviets, would sign such a treaty as the Antarctic treaty around this time.

And make sure you ask yourself why it was called "Operation Fishbowl" which was a subset of Operation Dominic... (hint: it's a fishbowl of the Lord's)

Still no way to treat a girl who has only been reasonable with you on a very difficult topic.

Umm..

I note, not unexpectedly, that you have either refused to answer or are unable to answer the simple question posed to you.

To refresh your memory, which seems to be very poor, the question was phrased thusly: “Suppose I went to a certain location and then came back to my original point of departure. How would I prove claims that I had actually visited the place I claimed to visit?”

Answer this first before I continue this thought question. This is by way of testing if you are capable of rational thought.

(By the way, there are more than one possible answers so you get extra brownie points if you come up with several.)

Do exercise your brain and try to come up with one of the several possible correct responses.
