Lewis Hamilton was always a very inquisitive child, and as he grew older, the Stevenage boy increased the intensity of his inquisitiveness. Hamilton was present at the Johnson Space Center in 2019. The Space Mad Ace posed a question that led to an awkward situation.

In 2019, a video surfaced on the internet where the Briton was seen travelling around NASA. There he was spotted taking a ride in a moon buggy and getting a close-up view of spacesuits. During the last minutes of the footage, Hamilton asked astronaut Doug Hurley a question regarding the moon landing hoax and whether it was real or not.

For the unknowns, NASA launched a lunar mission in 1969, which was heavily criticised by the public since many people thought it was a hoax.For those who genuinely believed that the mission had some basis in reality, they would undoubtedly be interested in learning the real story.

In the Video Lewis Hamilton said, “I have I guess it’s a touchy point. But the big question is there’s the obviously the theories that you didn’t land on the moon, so, but why would people have that theory? All those different areas and then come out with that theory. Post that Hurley appears perplexed as someone off-camera addresses the F1 champion and said, “I am not sure why they have that theory.”

After that, Hurley replied, “I’ve always maintained it would have been harder to fake it. You think it’s it just takes one person to go spill. I mean and and and yeah I mean and it just.I I had people in my own family that thought we faked .And then there came and watched me go find space. I mean, it’s, you know, not many, but there’s some, you know, every family’s got a little bit of a friend, you know.”

Lewis Hamilton wants to wait before signing up for a space project

Elon Musk unveiled a cutting-edge tourist initiative that seeks to transport people to space for a respectable sum of money. Before the project ever began, the concept attracted a lot of wealthy entities who signed up. The Mercedes driver appreciated the initiative and expressed interest in joining, but wanted to wait a little while.
Talking to the Gentleman’s journal Hamilton said, “I mean, I don’t have any current plans in place to go when they launch. I definitely wouldn’t go immediately, let’s put it that way. I wouldn’t go in the early stages of any of them.”

“But Elon, and what he’s doing with SpaceX and Tesla he’s got such a great mind. He’s doing some incredible things. He’s such an intelligent man. And I would love to go to space, so I’ll keep a close eye on what he’s doing. There’s just so little that we know, isn’t there? So much that hasn’t been explored. It’s going to be interesting to see what happens in our lifetimes,” he added.
