The NBA star, Steph Curry, is now very sure of the lunar landing

It's been less than a week since the broadcast of a podcast in which Golden State superstar, Steph Curry, said that he did not believe that the United States had landed on the moon. Now the guards of warriors are using everything they need to propel their remarks.

Saturday, his last attempt, a live conversation on Instagram with an experienced space person: retired astronaut Scott Kelly.

The two men used cordial conversation primarily to emphasize the importance of scientific culture, but also explained how Kelly became an astronaut, his year in orbit, and the NASA lunar laboratory.

Prior to Saturday's live broadcast, Curry had already accepted NASA's offer to visit the lunar laboratory of Johnson Space Center in Houston. He also granted an illuminating interview to ESPN, claiming that his statement was a joke and that he would take the time to learn about NASA's achievements and about the history of space exploration by l & # 39; man.

"I silently protested how stupid it was that people took this quote and said," Oh my God, he's a dummy landing simulator, "as you want. , yada, yada, yada, "he says ESPN. "So, I protested in silence about this part, about the death of this story.

"But in terms of the reaction I've had, I'll definitely take [NASA] on their offer. I will personally learn about all that NASA has done and highlight their remarkable work over the years. And we hope people understand that education is a power, while informing you is power. "

Nevertheless, the episode sparked widespread ridicule and reminders of when Boston Celtics' guard, Kyrie Irving, said the Earth was flat. Tony Kornheiser and Michael Wilbon of ESPN have compared Curry's statement to slavery and denial.

Friday night, in a match, the Sacramento Kings watched the video showing astronauts walking on the moon during the presentation of the Golden State players in order to mock the Warriors' guard.

The comments on the podcast were a shock from Curry, who often engaged on political and cultural issues with insight. This character was back in the informal interview with Kelly.

Curry hinted that his visit would probably come in mid-March, when the Warriors will be in Houston for their regular season finale.

"I think you can expect a great reception," Kelly said.
