Apollo Conspiracy? NASA Invites Skeptic Steph Curry to See Moon-Landing Evidence
Space.com ^ | Mike Wall

It's possible that Curry was joking. But, if he was being serious, NASA would like to help the two-time NBA MVP and three-time champion see the light, as The New York Times reported yesterday.

"There's lots of evidence NASA landed 12 American astronauts on the moon from 1969-1972. We'd love for Mr. Curry to tour the lunar lab at our Johnson Space Center in Houston, perhaps the next time the Warriors are in town to play the Rockets," NASA spokesman Allard Beutel told Space.com via email.

"We have hundreds of pounds of moon rocks stored there, and the Apollo mission control," Beutel added. "During his visit, he can see first-hand what we did 50 years ago, as well as what we’re doing now to go back to the moon in the coming years, but this time to stay."

Former NASA astronaut Scott Kelly also reached out to Curry, saying via Twitter today (Dec. 11), "Steph, so much respect for you, but re the moon-landing thing, let's talk. DM me."

The returned moon rocks are just the tip of the Apollo-evidence iceberg. For example, NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) has photographed multiple Apollo landing sites, showing pieces of hardware and moon-rover tracks on the lunar surface.

NASA officials also note that "all the Apollo missions were independently tracked by England and Russia (our allies and enemies), both of whom sent letters of congratulations after the moon landings. In the midst of a heated space race, the Russians would have called our bluff if the landings had not actually happened."

Two Thousand years ago the steam engine was invented.
The first commercial steam engine went to work in 1712

What I can’t fathom is how someone today could watch the 16mm color films - hours and hours of it, plus the (thousands?) Hassleblad 70mm color stills and not be absolutely floored by the landscapes. Or moonscapes, I guess.

At the time, we only watched blurry TV scans, due to the technology of the day, they weren’t very high definition. How could anybody imagine it would be remotely possible to convincingly fake the color film and stills? There is absolutely no way.

It is very frightening how easily people can be manipulated into believing (or not believing) in something. Like voting for “Democrats”, or “Republicans”. Yeesh.

Zooking around the moon in orbit aboard the cramped confines in LEM and SM has to rank as the most absolutely badass expeditions of human exploration, bar none. So far. Astronauts reached speeds of up to around 24,000 mph during the return.

We’re approaching the 50th anniversary of Apollo 8, a very bold move by NASA where humans first left the earth to visit another heavenly body. The crew took turns reading from Genesis on Christmas Eve, broadcast on the networks during prime time. I still today get a chill every time I hear that, one of the most profound moments of mankinds voyages of discovery. In the past, great explorers were cutoff from civilization and we had to wait years before we even heard or read about them. During Apollo they beamed the expedition right into our living rooms in real time. How cool is that?

It reminds me of the story of the Vietnamese boy saying that it was impossible to land on the moon because it is only the size of a penny.

The earth seen from the moon is fake. Every one knows the earth is flat.

Don’t forget that airliners run on compressed air not jet A.

"Great idea. In fact, I'm considering becoming a Flat Earther in the hopes I'll get that tour as well"
Great idea! With a full 'round the world tour the little lady and I might be convinced that the world is round although it might take two trips - going the other way as well just to be sure. ;-)

Maybe I’ll become a flat mooner...
maybe a flat sunner.
I mean if the earth is flat why would every thing else
be round?

There are also people who think that the Holocaust was faked and the Earth is flat.

Me too, FRiend, every time.

I've no idea who/what made all this, but those few minutes of humility from 8 were better testimony to the Creator than any hymn I've ever heard or any 'sermon' ever endured.

Their superstitions simply boggle the rational mind (even mine ;-)

They actually believe that the sky/universe is full of levitating frisbees .. no true communication is possible with such creatures.

Kipling wrote a story about them.
“The Town that voted the earth was flat”.
It’s a hoot.

I was at the Burbank studios where the moon landing was filmed. In one photo you can see my reflection in the astronauts visor.
