Former race car driver Danica Patrick has now admitted believing the conspiracy theory that the United States faked the moon landing.
And here fans were finally starting to come around on her.
Lately, however, Danica Patrick appears to be doing everything she can to rile up her haters.
Between becoming very public with her political views and the hate she receives when she works a racing broadcast or appears in Formula 1: Drive to Survive, Danica Patrick has become very polarizing.
Adding the fact that she actually believes the conspiracy theory that the United States faked the moon landing certainly isn’t going to help.
We know that she believes this because Patrick shared a clip on Wednesday night of moon landing conspiracy theorist Bart Sibrel on The Joe Rogan Experience.
“This is def one of the conspiracy’s [sic] I believe,” Patrick wrote in her Instagram Stories. “I don’t care if you think I’m crazy. I already know I am.”
Apparently, Danica Patrick gets her facts about the world from the same places Aaron Rodgers does. (How did those two ever break up?)
According to the Institute of Physics (IOP), “Every single argument claiming that NASA faked the moon landings has been discredited.”
Some facts from the IOP…
• “With a powerful amateur telescope you can see the Apollo landing sites and, if you look at the photos from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, you can spot the remnants of the Apollo missions yourself.”
• “From the Apollo moon missions, there are 8,400 publicly available photos, thousands of hours of video footage, a mountain of scientific data, and full transcripts and audio recordings of all air-to-ground conversations.”
• “We even have 382 kilograms of moon rock that Apollo astronauts brought back to Earth. These rocks have been independently verified as lunar by laboratories around the world, ruling out a U.S. conspiracy.”
As National Space Centre Discovery Director Profesor Anu Ojha said in 2019, “In 2009, we sent a lunar reconnaissance orbiter to map the lunar surface in three or four orders of magnitude more resolution than had ever been managed before. Every single Apollo landing site was pictured.”
But sure, keep believing that we faked the moon landing.
