Warriors' Stephen Curry says he was joking about moon landing, will visit NASA Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry said he was joking when he questioned on a podcast whether astronauts ever landed on the moon, and he will happily accept NASA's invitation to tour the lunar lab at the Johnson Space Center in Houston.
"One thousand percent," Curry told ESPN on Wednesday of accepting the invite. "One thousand percent. Obviously I was joking when I was talking on the podcast. [Then] 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 wholeheartedly."
Hey, he's getting a cool tour out of it all, at least. So, piggybacking on Blake Griffin's idea, I don't believe the NBA exists (and it's therefore impossible to attend a game), nor do I believe that having $10 million in the bank would be a good feeling. If there are any entities or benefactors out there who would like to prove me wrong, I'm open-minded.
