    What an idiot, especially when he blames his ignorance on his religious and political stances.

    Also dumb, saying this to a newspaper formerly conceived of, headquartered, and printed in the same county that launches the most stuff to space, Brevard county Florida, aka the Space Coast, where you can see stuff being launched to space almost daily, ans almost from any part of the county, including from my backyard pool.

    We need way more pushback against people spouting this level of ignorance.

      We need to just not give them a platform to spout it on.

      Why the fuck is a college football player’s beliefs about space newsworthy?

        Well partially because once he gets to the pro level his platform grows larger, so it’s best to nip it in the bud now, but also the article mentions Kyrie Irving, whom has similar beliefs, so the author is probably just trying to highlight how pervasive this ignorance has become, also let’s not forget Aaron Rodgers as well and the influence his ignorance has.
