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.

I am willing to lay odds that at least one NBA player believes that “Men in Black” was a documentary!
9-5 is the opening line.;^)
Curry just doesn’t know his history.
"Pesky"? Only to people who want to put satellites in Medium Earth Orbit. And have them stay there for years. And still work after several years. Be we've learned a lot, over the years, about making our electronics "radiation hard". People who want to travel through them rapidly, just make sure to do so rapidly. People who want to avoid them pass through those altitudes near the poles.
“It was a different time, you understand....1957-58!”
ROFL!!!!
Most retarded idiots if they even exist because the phrase is so demeaning would not even understand the question.
But believe me - I do understand your anger. My father was one of the many who invested their time and intelligence to make it happen... To sniff at all these hard working intelligent people and doubt their integrity infuriates me as well... I just keep tamping it down and try to understand ignorance if that can be obtained.
If I was more invested in the project I probably couldn’t.
Just another reason not to watch the NBA. As if I needed another reason...
Yes, but didn’t Whoopi see the flag waving in the wind? And the moon has no atmosphere, right? Hm....
But then Sheila Jackson Lee thinks we planted the flag on...Mars...yeah, Mars.
The lunar rover TV camera could be remote controlled from earth. There are no pictures of the LEM taking off before Apollo 15, because those missions didn’t have rovers along.
Not needed, because most of us here can actually think.
Dumber than Sheila Jackson Lee, who despite mixing up celestial bodies, at least admits that NASA did land on one of them.
Nope, there would have been a time-delay from earth, even if you could electronically transmit to the camera for the “tilt up” and “zoom out” shots of the Lunar Module.
The camera would not have followed the lift off in real time, it would have been delayed.
In other words, a time delay would prevent the camera from tilting and zooming with the lift-off in real time, as the film reveals.
Were those firecrackers underneath? Where was the engine plume?
Comedy gold. (Or is it Americans’ Gold?)
No one ever claimed college graduates playing pro sports making huge amounts of money had brains or intellect........../s
I specifically used the phrase because it is not politically correct and is in the sphere of cultural understanding at that time.
I do have some first hand knowledge of the moon shot. My Dad worked for GE at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama as a computer programmer on the parts inventory for the Saturn Rocket. At that time it was the largest program ever written. I have the vivid memory of living ten miles away from the Redstone Arsenal/Marshall Space Flight Center and hearing the thunderous roar and the ground shaking for several minutes as they static tested the first booster engine. In 1980 I experienced a 7.0 earthquake and I am a witness that nature didn't come close to a tied down Saturn Rocket Engine shaking the Earth.
I was with my family at the Marshall Space Flight Center Museum when a voice came across the PA system, saying that the first raw film of Ed White's spacewalk had just arrived. I was privileged to be one of the first people on Earth to crowd into the little theater to watch that film and see the wayward glove float out of the hatch.
Any conspiracy to fake the whole moon shot would have required a myriad of people to keep a secret. I pity any fool that could believe that possible.

Look at the shot again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HQfauGJaTs

Hey since this video is being discussed, can you give us specific details about what sort of color video camera, circa 1970, was left behind on the moon to take the shot of the Apollo 17 lift off from earth?
How did they transport such a huge and heavy color camera from that era to the moon, with a tripod big enough to hold a color camera from that era?
And what company manufactured and equipped the camera it with a transmitter to use it as a remote from earth to tilt and zoom and follow the take off of the Lunar Module in real time?
You’ll take notice, that the camera panned and tilted up in real time.
No delay.
The comments are priceless, too.
Also, the camera should still be there, on the moon, correct?
