Stephen Curry is pretty sure the moon landing was faked, just in case you cared

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.

“Test the curve math”? You mean like how people noticed that the last part of a ship that they could see as it sailed away from them was its mast? That kind of a curve test?

In the time of the moon missions everything was analog

Yes and when they zoomed in on the ship, they saw the rest of the ship? Yes... that kind of test.

Keep in mind the formula for curve. It’s really a severe drop, and not that hard to prove or disprove with a good camera.

I'm not sure I share your enthusiasm for arguing the technical details, but you're doing a pretty good job.

Back in the early 1980's I believed in global warming, and I believed our government wasn't capable of keeping huge secrets from the public. Looking at the stacks of B.S. stories the media and our own government have spoon fed us and I can't say we definitely went to the moon anymore.

Trust is earned and trust can be lost. You can start with the Kennedy assassination, Chappaquiddick and now we have global warming and the deep state. Good lies like the SR-71 and F-117, and bad lies like Benghazi and the Iran deal. Truth is cheaper than it might once have been.

There is no doubt that good things came from the Apollo program, Texas Instruments for example. I do believe the rockets were launched and command modules were recovered. But I think they faked some of this stuff, and that puts it on a slippery slope.

Perfect photography from guys wearing welding gloves and operating manual cameras with no viewfinders? As Sontagged points out the electrical power consumption forces a leap of faith not unlike how Comey and Brennan assure us Trump cheated with the Russians to beat Hillary.

Thanks for the articulate thumbs up...

I really don’t want to argue with peeps here about it all... just point out the complete inconsistencies in NASA logic, and how there is an element of philosophical belief behind the veil. As a Christian, I am duty-bound to expose evil and warn others... at the risk of argument about things sacred and sentimental to Americans.

I’m a flag waver at heart, but that love of country cuts both ways.

I’m not really aware of the SR71 issues? Was there cheating with the numbers? I stopped paying attention after Gary Powers.

If I had known this was an article of faith for you, I would never have pointed out anything but the fact that you are wrong in your misguided understanding.

Nowhere in the Bible is it said that Mankind must never go to the Moon.   You are way off base making up your own interpretation of scripture.   Our footprints on the Moon did not challenge God or erase God from our lives.

On December 24, 1968, in what was the most watched television broadcast at the time,[1][2] the crew of Apollo 8 read in turn from the Book of Genesis as they orbited the Moon. The Bible used was provided by the Gideons. Bill Anders, Jim Lovell, and Frank Borman recited Genesis chapter 1, verses 1 through 10 verbatim, using the King James Version text.[3] Anders read verses 1-4, Lovell read verses 5-8, and Borman read verses 9-10, concluding the transmission.

Transcript]

William Anders

We are now approaching lunar sunrise, and for all the people back on Earth, the crew of Apollo 8 has a message that we would like to send to you.

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.[4]

James Lovell

And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.[4]

Frank Borman

And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.


And from the crew of Apollo 8, we close with good night, good luck, a Merry Christmas – and God bless all of you, all of you on the good Earth.[4]

I was sitting in our with our whole family on Christmas Eve, December 24, 1968, listening to this broadcast and it brings tears to my eyes and a fullness in my chest to remember that night right now.   Our family tradition was to read the Christmas Story in the Book of Luke on Christmas and this reading from Genesis fit right in.   It filled all of our hearts to know that God and the Gospel would be spread around the world from space.
Later, on the 1969 Apollo 11 mission, Buzz Aldrin received communion on the lunar surface shortly after landing. Although he did not keep his actions secret, he only said a non-religious sentence on the intercom and read from the scripture off-air.[5][10]

Thanks, TruBluKentuckian for the headsup.

Yes, that's really nice that the astronauts read the Bible, but that doesn't mean that they understood what the Bible actually says about the natural world, or that their actions are in line with God's Word.

Just because Joel Olsteen reads the Bible, am I supposed to believe it is a guarantee that all his actions are of God?

Well, maybe Nazi turned NASA Von Braun finally understood, after Operation Fishbowl and Operation Dominic proved God's word to be true?

“Yes and when they zoomed in on the ship, they saw the rest of the ship?”

Except that isn’t what happened. And still doesn’t. Sailors have always known what apparently eludes you, assuming that you aren’t play acting.

So the craziness is spreading.

The USSR was capable of tracking our Moon shots. Have you figured out why they never accused us of faking the Moon landings?

Earth is flat, fixed and unmoveable, the moon is a light not a big flying rock. The outer space stuff comes from the same liars that gave you evolution.

I see that your pic refers to Werner von Braun as “the father of NASA”. Does that mean that none of the Moon Hoax believers have ever heard of Robert Goddard? Or Jimmy Doolittle, who was running NACA before it became NASA?

Either way, von Braun never ran NASA. He managed the engineers at the Army Ballistic Missile Agency, one of the three research organizations absorbed into NASA.

So that whole circumnavigation of the globe thing by Magellan didn’t happen? Would he have sailed off over the edge into ...the void?
