Steph received a lot of heat after he made an appearance on a podcast and questioned whether or not humans have actually been to the moon . The attention centered around his comments led to NASA offering him a tour of one of its lunar labs to prove to him that the moon landing did indeed happen.
Curry told ESPN earlier today that his moon landing comments were only jokes and that he will gladly accept NASA’s invitation.
“One thousand percent. Obviously I was joking when I was talking on the podcast. I was silently protesting how stupid it was that people actually took that quote and made it law as, ‘Oh my God, he’s a fake moon landing truther,’ whatever you want to call it, yada, yada, yada. So I was silently protesting that part about it, how the story took a life of its own.
“But in terms of the reaction that I’ve gotten, I am definitely going to take [NASA] up on their offer. I am going to educate myself firsthand on everything that NASA has done and shine a light on their tremendous work over the years. And hopefully people understand that education is power, informing yourself is power. For kids out there that hang on every word that we say, which is important, understand that you should not believe something just because somebody says it. You should do your homework and understand what you actually believe. But I’m going to go to NASA and I’m going to enjoy the experience whole-heartedly.
Let’s talk about how the media lost their minds over this, but won’t speak about Kaepernick being blackball, racism or police brutality.
Funny how that works.
