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.

Yeah, but the that’s not what happened on Apollo 11.

You do understand, NASA said that none of its earth images from space are real?

None.

My brother is a Moon denier. He says the proof is that we never aimed the Hubble telescope at the moon to show the flag.

If they were all here, I’m sure that Neil, Buzz, Pete, Al, Al, Ed, Dave, Jim, John, Charlie, Gene, and Jack would tell them that we DID INDEED land on the moon.

You are basing all your belief on what you don’t know. It’s like you consider your ignorance to be evidence. “I don’t think that would work” is not a basis for a belief in something that is well known to be true.

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

This article, linked above, points out the strange problem that the word "SEX" was written in the fake clouds on NASA's 2015 "photograph".

Others saw the 2012 NASA earth image, and saw it also said "SEX" in the clouds.

NASA has admitted that none of their images from space of the earth are real but photoshopped or artist's renderings and composites.

This is why there are so many duplicates of the fake "clouds" on the fake earth images.

Still, how hard would it have been to swing a camera around on the moon and take a real photo of the earth?

Your brother will be interested to read Hubble Shoots the Moon ...

Except, of course, that it's from NASA and therefore everything is a lie including "the" and "and". Even assuming that, though, anybody with an elementary knowledge of telescope optics can compute the angular resolution of an instrument the size of Hubble ... and then convert that to a GSD at the distance of Moon. Then, he could compare that GSD to the (alleged) size of the lunar landers ... and then realize that he's on a fool's errand. He's gonna need a bigger telescope.

I was a DP back in the day and used both film and archaic video equipment, in and out of studio settings.

Show me the actual equipment used... keeping in mind the enormous battery packs and 1" tape recorders that would have had to have been used.

Color analog video cameras were not "camcorders"... the video cassette for 1" tape was never manufactured, and the 3/4 inch tape cartridge was way too huge to be part of a camera.

How was all this technology powered on the moon?

Battery packs had to be the size of a 1970's television set.

And where is the transmitter for the camera? Who made it? And where are the control arms, etc., in order for the zoom and tilt to work?

Don't see it. The main issue is the battery pack(s). And who manufactured said equipment... the actual tape recording machine... the actual transmitter... the control arms... not happening in 1970-1972 as described.

And we'll overlook the phony "earth" in the sky... which is an entirely wrong size and shape for the earth to be seen from the moon. It would be huge.

For a person who doesn’t know what happened, you sure are confident about not knowing.

Have you ever seen a color video camera from the year 1970?

I Googled it. There are a bunch of them that are not all that large.

It seems it took a couple of tries with Apollo 15 and 16 to get it right. A better explanation is here:

I don't take my reality from a liberal, Islam loving, Climate Change loving organization like NASA... NASA, who recruited actual Hitler-era Nazis (and got them out of standing trial in Nuremberg) for their original staff...

Nope, I don't think its wise to trust a Liberal org like NASA.

I'll stick with the Lord Jesus Christ and the veracity of His Word.

As did, apparently, one of the converted Nazis who founded NASA, Werner Von Braun... affirming that NASA never breached the firmament...

Those pesky Van Allen Belts have never been fully explained.

So... since the Van Allen Belts were explored by, and theories about them proven by, Explorer 1 and 3... and they were mapped by Explorer 4, Pioneer 3 and Luna 1...

all these from a satellite program and all launched between FEB 1958 to JAN 1959...

with Luna 1 getting within 3800 mi of the moon...

And you think the information gathered by this satellite program... more than ten years ahead of the Apollo missions... and getting within spitting distance of the moon (239,000 mi away)... to be some sort of potential evidence that we never went to the moon?

Intriguing.

Gravity has yet to be fully explained. Does it not exist either?

I saw the color analog video cameras online too.

None of those had built in battery packs.

None of the vintage cameras were “cam corders” with the ability to record on a cassette. Betamax and VHS cassettes had yet to be invented, and the 3/4” tape “cassette is enormous.

1” video tape was recorded on reels.

None of the 1970 cameras had the ability to record without a huge, TV sized recording machine nearby.

Where is the transmitter?

Where are the battery packs? Had to be huge.

Where is the recorder for the video tape?

How is all of this powered on the moon?

NASA has said it no longer has the ability to go through the Van Allen belts, because it has erased and destroyed its technology to do so.

Yet, China hasn’t had a problem, so what gives?

NASA is a liberal, Islam loving/Climate Change loving org.

That’s the problem.

Yeah, because NASA gets most of their equipment from Radio Shack. *eyeroll*

Do you also believe that the SR-71 (built in 1962-1964) never achieved its records, and had to use parts off the shelf?

SMH

And, by the way, a 10 second search found the info... " built around the Hasselblad 500EL body... and packed an Planar 80mm f/2.8 lens... loaded with 70mm film, two with color, one with black and white... For black and white they used 70mm perforated Kodak Panatomic-X ‘fine-grained’ film with an ASA rating of 80. For color, they could’ve used any combination of Kodak Ektachrome SO–68, Kodak Ektachrom SO–121, and Kodak 2485, the latter of which featured a ‘super light-sensitive’ ASA rating of 1,600."

we'll overlook the phony "earth" in the sky... which is an entirely wrong size and shape for the earth to be seen from the moon. It would be huge

Further, if you actually had ANY knowledge of photography, you'd know that background items can vary greatly in apparent size depending on the distance to the main subject, and numerous lens settings.

The cam corder was not invented in 1972. You had to manually hook up to a reel to reel 1” tape or 3/4” tape recording machine... the size of a huge TV...

and that was if you had a power outlet to plug into, to power all that video technology.

And then, the transmitter would be huge.

But the battery pack would be the size of another huge Television set.

That said, the photos you posted are probably of black and white video cameras. Too small. The color tube(s) made the color video cameras larger.

Both needed to be plugged into the wall or TV studio power supply.

The official NASA story says their color video cameras were only 4 pounds in weight. That is dubious, too. They also said the relay time to transmit to earth was 1.5 seconds... nonsensical.

Uh... NASA said it used RCA cameras on the moon. You do understand NASA invented the CGI processes, right?

Oh, no I believe the SR 71 was a great machine... Gary Powers is a hero of mine, tho his was an earlier U2.

The government often initiates new technology. That’s why the liberals at NASA are apparently lying, or obfuscating as to how they “lost” and “destroyed” the knowledge and technology to get to the moon.

Especially since the Chinese are going to the moon.
