We can all settle down now because Stephen Curry has confirmed that his moon landing comments were a joke.
Earlier this week, the Golden State Warriors’ point guard said on the podcast “Winging It” that he didn’t believe people have ever been to the moon.
His comments went viral, prompting fans to wonder whether Curry was joking or not.
NASA even invited Curry on a tour of their facilities to prove that the landings were real.
On Wednesday, Curry told ESPN’s Nick Friedell that his comments were “one thousand percent” a joke.
“One thousand percent. 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.
However, Curry still plans on taking NASA up on their offer to give him a tour.
“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.”
