Hope he becomes pro and makes a bunch of money. Otherwise, this dude is in trouble.

DestroyerOfWorlds ,

Remember, he’s a college student.

Everythingispenguins ,

Does anyone else find it weird that he knows the word heliocentric?

Plopp ,

Not at all. He learned all that, including terminology, from loony conspiracy theories. They like to use sciency words because it makes them sound more legitimate.

cheese_greater ,

I wonder if he knows the word idiocentric?

Instead of making fun of him, NASA should fund a trip for him to go to the ISS and he should livestream the whole thing to instagram.

BedSharkPal ,

Oh hey NASA, I also don’t believe in space!

If you’re also someone with the same kind of influence and reach potential as this guy, then it’s also worth changing your mind about this

BedSharkPal ,

You’re not going to change the mind of someone who’s looking for attention. If anything - he’ll double down.

Also if you need a football player to believe in space for you to believe in it too…

It’ll be like the flat earthers who used a $20k laser gyroscope to prove the earth is flat, but instead proved the earth is round. Of course, being consummate morons, they then just ignored it.

BedSharkPal ,

Exactly, someone who didn’t find their position with logic, won’t change it due to logic.

TengoDosVacas ,

Texas. It’s what we said it was.

I wonder if it hurts to be that dumb.

diannetea ,

I typically feel like people like this aren’t dumb, they’re just so incredibly distrustful of authority figures like teachers or scientists or the government that on some level they reject reality and when videos “kinda make sense” or “have some points” about shit we all know is fake, it gives them the ability to choose what they think is correct and because they’re already rejecting what they’re being told is real by people they don’t trust it’s really easy to let conspiracies fill in the gap of how it works

reverendsteveii ,

the fact that this is a story is a better criticism of our media than anything anyone could make up

corymbia ,

So did he buy a house that was like, 20 square feet?

“Yeah… I don’t believe in space. This is good.”

Shows what a degree from Texas Tech is worth.

Got_Bent ,

I mean, they do get a cultish gold ring that they fish out of a pitcher of beer with which they get to play wonder twins for the rest of their lives, so there’s that.

echodot ,

There is no such thing as space all the planets are just bunched up together you can walk to Mars. It’s all the conspiracy by big NASA.

Alpha71 ,

This is what happens when you push someone through the higher education complex on a sports scholarship…

FabledAepitaph ,

Nah, he might just be dumb. Pretty sure I knew space was real before I was 10 lol

pizzazz ,

Exactly. An idiot like this should never be enrolled in a technical university.

Texas_Hangover ,

Football tho.

Shialac ,

tbh believing if space is real is less about education and more about ideology

militaryintelligence ,

It’s really not. He read about flat earthers crackpot theories and thought there was merit

NigelFrobisher ,

Biggest arms I’ve ever seen on a database, that’s for sure.

CrayonRosary ,

Remember to reach for the stars because the stars don’t have arms to reach for you!

naknaS ,

Don’t look up!

Vex_Detrause ,

This is not even the craziest thing someone said on my front page.
