During a segment on his radio show 'McElroy and Cubelic in the Morning,' Greg McElroy (former University of Alabama quarterback and ESPN analyst) claimed that humanity has never landed on the moon, despite the historical evidence of six successful lunar landings by the United States between 1969 and 1972. His remarks came during the Artemis II mission, which is currently on a 10-day flight to orbit the moon but does not involve a landing. McElroy's assertion that 'there is a zero percent chance we went to the moon' was met with disbelief from his co-host and studio team. He further argued that the technology of the time was inadequate for such a feat, stating, 'We didn't have microwaves, but we can go to the moon?' NASA officials responded to these conspiracy theories, emphasizing the disrespect they show to the thousands of individuals who contributed to the Apollo program and the exploration of space.
