Overview
- Derrick White, on his White Noise podcast released Monday, called himself a “non-moon landing” person who doubts the 1969 Apollo 11 walk.
- He hedged right away, saying “We probably did, but I don’t think we did. I don’t know,” and stopped short of making a firm claim.
- The comments followed coach Joe Mazzulla labeling White a “conspiracy theorist” earlier this month on Boston’s Zolak & Bertrand radio show.
- White said he is not an extreme conspiracy theorist, described such topics as interesting to debate, and hinted at other ideas without details.
- Outlets framed the take as personality talk rather than a team issue, with Newsweek noting the wishy-washy tone and others taking a lighter angle, while also recapping that Apollo missions put astronauts on the moon starting in 1969.
