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.

No, what’s odd about your hysteria-filled posts is that you act like we are not supposed to “test all things” and seek out Truth as Christ commands us to do.

Here is the other famous video, though I’ve already provided you link after link regarding the crazy liberals at NASA:

You can find the complete video of this lying NASA lib somewhere, please do your own research...

I think your objections have been objectively answered. Not sure why this triggers so much hysteria for you... I said is the comments section (randomly selected, btw) reflected my “take”..

Here's another famous video by the Islam-loving liberals at NASA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wl1H1WxWTuc "The problem is we don't have the technology anymore to go to the moon"

Again another lie by flat earthers done by taking a quote out of context and then twisting it and folding it to fit in their insane theories.

We DON'T have 60's technologies and 60's plans to go to the moon. That technology does NOT exist. But we DO have 2018 technology and we have to develop plans around THAT technology. That's ALL this means and you know it. You're so caught up in PUSHING this theory because you don't want to be "wrong" and so you'll knowingly post lies in order to keep it going. That's disgusting.

Your "take" is represented as NASA saying or inferring something they never said or inferred. In other words you're lying.

[Sontagged]

Stooping to personal attacks? An opinion is not a “lie”... however your abject hysteria on this betrays some weird liberal allegiance to the Islam loving, UN loving, Climate Change loving liberals at NASA....?

LOL. Please. “Lying”...? LOL again.

I'm not sure you understand your response to my posted video disproves a globe model.

At three miles, there is a six foot "drop" over the curvature of the earth. At ten miles, it is a 66.6 foot drop! You simply would not be able to see the buoy in this video:

SHIPS (NOT) DISAPPEARING OVER THE HORIZON

THE MATH BEHIND THE CURVATURE OF THE EARTH

Statute Miles Away Math = Drop

1........ 1 x 1 x 8 = 8 Inches
2........ 2 x 2 x 8 = 32 Inches
3........ 3 x 3 x 8 / 12 = 6 Feet
4.........4 x 4 x 8 / 12 = 10.6 Feet
5.........5 x 5 x 8 / 12 = 16.6 Feet
6.........6 x 6 x 8 / 12 = 24 Feet
7.........7 x 7 x 8 / 12 = 32.6 Feet
8.........8 x 8 x 8 / 12 = 42.6 Feet
9.........9 x 9 x 8 / 12 = 54 Feet
10........10 x 10 x 8 / 12 = 66.6 Feet
20........20 x 20 x 8 / 12 = 266.6 Feet
30........30 x 30 x 8 / 12 = 600 Feet
40........40 x 40 x 8 / 12 = 1,066.6 Feet
50........50 x 50 x 8 / 12 = 1,666.6 Feet
60........60 x 60 x 8 / 12 = 2,400 Feet
70........70 x 70 x 8 / 12 = 3,266.6 Feet
80........80 x 80 x 8 / 12 = 4,266.6 Feet
90........90 x 90 x 8 / 12 = 5,400 Feet
100.......100 x 100 x 8 / 12 = 6,666.6 Feet
120.......120 x 120 x 8 / 12 = 9,600 Feet

Again, note the times "666" happens to come up here in the curve math. "666" comes up in all globemath.

I'll address the perspective/optical illusion/mirage issue next if I can find the link.

Just one of a zillion curve tests. Anyone can do this.

Remember NASA is a liberal, Islam loving, UN loving, Climate Change-loving organization.

CURVE TEST AT 6.95 MILES (Curve Math Chart Says Drop-Off Point is 32 Feet)

(Should Not Be Able to See Objects that are less than 32 Feet In Height)

At a little less than 7 miles away, we should not be able to see buildings that are less than 32 feet in height.

However... it's not provable.

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. So lets explore one of your Little Knowledge areas.

The Van Allen Belts are donut shaped and not homogeneous. The Belts are only a problem while the crews are in them. They don’t stay in them, they travel through them.

Unmanned probes mapped out the Belts and allowed NASA to design routes that took Apollo crews through sparser regions where their total radiation exposure was less than what is normal for chest x-rays. Dose counters for the crews averaged 0.38 rads.

So while the conspiracy prone love to gobble up ideas like the Van Allen Belts wrecking the spaceship electronics or giving the astronauts lethal doses of radiation it’s just one more example of their fondness for special pleading and partial facts.

[ScoochDude]

Thanks for the tutorial. Maybe if I learn html, I’ll believe in climate change too.

[ScoochDude]

No $hit! Try reading the post I was replying to. My contention is this. No other country has sent any living thing past the belt w/out it coming back Xrayed to death. Maybe we could reproduce their “shields” for the hospitals so we wouldn’t have to wear lead vests when getting xrayed or magnetic imaging. Or, maybe the shields were made out of lead just the feather weight kind so it could leave our atmosphere.

[ScoochDude]

The van Allen belt protects the earth from the radiation from the sun (so I was taught). It isn’t the traveling through part that hurts/kills. It’s the on the other side part where you’re exposed to raw gamma radiation from the sun. Every other country couldn’t figure out how to keep things alive outside the belt. NASA figured it out with a little help from Stan Kubrick.

I guess it's just WAAAY to hard to actually get accurate surveying equipment and do this where the conditions will actually stand up to scientific scrutiny. It's not science to put a camera on the beach and use it to prove your point. How far above sea level was the camera? What exactly were they looking at to prove the point? How tall were the buildings?

The 32 foot figure is predicated on all of this. It could be much less or much more then 32 feet depending on these factors.

There ARE actually professional surveying equipment that someone could rent and follow the directions. If just ONE flat earther did this it would absolutely prove their point. BUT NONE DOES. Why? Because they're dead wrong and science really proves it if they run it scientifically.

I can envision a time in the future where everything from the past will be questioned. Any “video” evidence will easily be dismissed as fake.

As a people, we are regressing scientifically, culturally, morally...

“It isn’t the traveling through part that hurts/kills. It’s the on the other side part where you’re exposed to raw gamma radiation from the sun.”

You have it a bit mixed up. The Van Allen Belts do protect Earth from cosmic radiation. But they do it by collecting radiation and parts of the Belts are very hot. Hotter than space outside of the Belts.

[ScoochDude]

You’re probably right. I am a little mixed up.

I still don’t think we went to the moon, and the only way I’ll be convinced otherwise, is if “we go back”.

[higgmeister]

You might as well give it up D KC, it is obvious that Sontagged's faith in God and Christ would be shattered if he ever came to believe the Earth is a sphere and men walked on the Moon.

It's really sad that this "Doubting Thomas" forces God to jump through hoops to conform to his own preconceived false notions.

Just let Jesus tell him to his face because none of this petty distraction affects salvation anyway. It's only a vexation for us and his ravings don't matter one whit.

TruBluKentuckian had him pegged from the start.

Do what you want brother. Life is short.

And the world will be so impressed when you change your mind.

At #169 you said this:

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.


The link that you gave us at #190 does not use the words "Deep Space module" or huge recording machine running "on batteries."

https://www.lpi.usra.edu/lunar/missions/apollo/apollo_17/photography/

It says “Video was received and recorded from lunar distance at any of the three Deep Space Stations.”


The three Deep Space Stations are on Earth, not out in space somewhere running on batteries as you seem to be implying at #169.

About the Deep Space Network

“The DSN consists of three facilities spaced equidistant from each other – approximately 120 degrees apart in longitude – around the world. These sites are at Goldstone, near Barstow, California; near Madrid, Spain; and near Canberra, Australia. The strategic placement of these sites permits constant communication with spacecraft as our planet rotates – before a distant spacecraft sinks below the horizon at one DSN site, another site can pick up the signal and carry on communicating.”

[Sontagged]

Thank you for correcting my misinterpretation... Deep Space Stations are actually ground-based TV uplink and TV downlink transmitter and receiver dish positions on earth...

... but all that just proves my point.

There would have been no time for someone in Houston to receive "lunar" footage from a station in Australia, and the uplink a transmission to remote control the mechanical zoom lens on the c. 1970 video camera was left behind on the "moon" .... for live broadcast.

The problem is with the zoom and tracking shots in the footage of the lift-off of Apollo 17 from the “lunar surface” here:

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

This was supposedly shot by a “circa 1970 color video camera that was left behind on the ‘lunar’ surface” ....and strapped to the battery powered Lunar Rover Golf Cart .... while this analog camera was supposedly remote controlled into zooming and tilting up in this resulting tracking shot....

...and we have been told this half a billion mile round-trip video transmission only took 1.5 seconds from the "moon" to the camera operator in Houston and back to the zoom lens mechanism on the "lunar" camera?...

< Where was the TV Downlink receiver, or transceiver strapped to the Lunar Rover Dune Buggy for this type of sophisticated video transmission? I mean, we think about what we need now for TV broadcast trucks?

I mean, the receiving dish at the earth station was 200 feet wide.

And this “remote video control from earth for live broadcast using year 1970 mechanical and analog camera equipment over half a billion miles through space for archaic video transmission to a TV Downlink station in Australia, who then Uplinked the video footage to NASA in Houston, after converting the footage to minimum broadcast standards, where Houston supposedly live controlled the camera on the “moon” to capture this video footage” of the Apollo 17 lift off ...that's what we are supposed to believe about the logistics?

Keep in mind, there were no coaxial cable networks in the year 1969 or 1972.

There weren't even sophisticated video relay stations at that time.

As every conservative knows, Sarah Palin reminded us how Alaskans would get their TV news airmailed to them on video tape (reel to reel) in the 1970's, from the lower 48 states. And Alaskan TV coverage would be a week late in 1970...

Yet, we are to believe that the Lunar Rover golf cart left behind on the "moon" had a circa 1970 analog color video camera strapped to it, with a sophisticated TV uplink and downlink transmitter/transceiver, that live streamed color video back to earth, or even somehow managed to hook up with the 17,000MPH Lunar orbiter, and they streamed it to earth, to one of these big 200 foot wide downlink TV receiver stations, who converted the footage for minimum broadcast standards, and Uplinked the footage to Houston, via TV relays across the world, and then it went back the same way to the "moon" so that Houston could remote control the zoom and tilt mechanism on the video camera on the "moon"... over half a billion miles to the "moon"

... within 1.5 seconds?

... how about 55 seconds?

... or 555 seconds?

Naw. Couldn't happen. You couldn't remote control a camera 500,000 miles round trip using technology from 1970 in a couple of seconds.

The video conversion process, supposedly done by the Deep State stations on earth, for the received "lunar c. 1970 video transmission" alone would take way too much time.

Wow, and to think how my cell phone still drops calls.

Yet this lunar transmittin' and receivin' went off without a hitch without any of the modern communications networks that we now have, with an analog camera that was left behind on the "moon" with some flimsy 24" antenna receiver transmitter?

But the biggest problem isn't even this line of Left Wing, liberal NASA cr*p. The biggest problem with this "moon" video is the year 1970 battery technology running all this stuff on the "lunar surface"... or not.

Still worried that you all are believing such a left wing, liberal and former Nazi organization like NASA... with all that Islam loving, Climate Change loving going on there.
