But do not forget, no human has ever travelled through Van Allen Radiation Belt. I do not want anyone to tell me only Richard Nixon was crazy enough to send a countryman or two through Van Allen Radiation Belt. Not one world leader, post December, 1972 has sent a man or woman through Van Allen Radiation Belt
You are wrong, you moron. There are countless scientific articles that explain this but you never read them.
Probably it could be but what would be the point when the purpose of the mission was to put a man in the moon. if an unmanned mission could be sent to the moon so could a manned mission go there. It was men who put the reflector there.
This is all denialism trolling, right? I don't think I know anyone who believes the moon landings are fake. They only appear to live on message boards. Could you all get together and come up with a way we can distinguish you at races. Not to mock you, but more to avoid you.
Funny that you post this, literally the next post after Armstrong posts:
From the above. "A final nail in the coffin of the Moon hoax theories is a simple instrument installed 50 years ago by Apollo 11. During their day on the Moon, Armstrong and Aldrin planted a lunar laser ranging retroreflector array on the surface. It’s still operational today, and allows us to reflect lasers off of it and measure the distance to the Moon down to the centimetre. We simply couldn’t do this if we hadn’t visited the Moon
He didn't post it. I did. You can't read.
Wait, I point out that you posted that and you object, saying that you didn't post that but rather YOU did?!?
Can you explain why the Van Allen belt is dangerous and why the precautions that NASA reports taking to avoid it during the Apollo missions were either insufficient or farcical? The radiation flux there is high, but not that high. The radiation dosage received by someone traveling through the belt for a few hours in a minimally shielded spacecraft would be roughly equivalent to the amount a commercial airline pilot would receive over a few years of flying. Obviously, that's concerning if you're spending weeks there, but not if you're only transiting through
+1
Wasn't one of the precautions to fly around it?
NASA picked a trajectory that avoided the inner belt, and only flew through part of the outer belt.
Even before 1972, Nixon/NASA was not "crazy enough to send a countryman or two through Van Allen Radiation Belt."
Van Allen Radiation Belt isn't a blob or a storm cloud to fly around. You proved your ignorance by stating Van Allen Radiation Belt may be navigated around.

I don't know enough about it to make an absolute judgement but I think it is an interesting discussion. I would have to read a lot more and have a much better understanding of physics amongst other things. I don't think it is that outrageous of a suggestion compared to some theories like flat earth and that crazy thing posted about dinosaurs at 4000BC on an ark and no humans before that time.

It can be navigated around. The belt is not a uniform blanket around the earth - it's more of a donut. It is quite possible to choose an escape trajectory that avoids them or minimizes exposure to them
I wonder why the Chinese or Russians haven’t exposed our lie? Shouldn’t it be easy to show evidence that our lunar landers and debris are not where we said they were?

Bring proof. Tired of you repeating fifty to fifty-five years of n a s a talking points. List your natural science advanced degrees.
Earth’s magnetic field traps charged particles from the solar wind in the Van Allen belts. These trapped ions execute three types of motion: helical motion around magnetic field lines, longitudinal motion between North and South mirror points, and latitudinal drift motion around Earth. Each is associated with an adiabatic invariant, which expresses restrictions on each type of motion. This study examines the effect on proton motion and the three adiabatic invariants when the strength of Earth’s magnetic moment varies with time.
My scientific degree is not proof of anything, buf if you want actual proof, I can explain it to you. The movement and character of the particles we observe in the van allen belt is accurately predicted by maxwell's equations and by observations of solar wind. EM models predict that the particles are funneled to the north and south poles, where they penetrate into the atmosphere and cause the aurorae. Thus there are very few such particles present directly above the magnetic poles - there is a "hole" in the belt. If it were not this shape, it would not be called a "belt". The shape and size of the belt at any given moment is a product of the interaction between magnetic field of the earth, which varies as the liquid core rotates and sloshes around, and the oncoming solar wind, which itself varies with solar output. It's possible to predict its size and shape and to plot a course through local minima in the belt
"The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork."
No rocket, no actorNOT, nobody ever made it to the Moon. We cannot get past the firmament.
You can't get past irrefutable fact. We did go to the moon. You are truly certifiable.
What's with you using "We"?
The US, demonstrating their intellectual superiority compared to the rest of the world, sent men to the moon, not New Aussieland or wherever you're from.
You guys probably still think it's made out of sheep's cheese.
Put another way, why don't NASA and others, including high school astronomy clubs focus their telescopes on the moon and prove to everyone that the leftover garbage is still up there? If this were possible, there'd be hundreds of Youtube videos of people doing exactly this. Instead, there are zero such videos.

Do people like you just say things they hope are true?
NASA has dozens of photos from lunar orbiters of the landing sites

This amateur in AZ just took a large composite of the moon that shows many remaining Apollo landers
Due to the volume of people asking- I wanted to illustrate where you can find the Apollo landing sites on my GigaMoon image- complete with zooming down to see the landers pic.twitter.com/KSf63PxUgL
Third-party evidence for Apollo Moon landings is evidence, or analysis of evidence, about the Moon landings that does not come from either NASA or the U.S. government (the first party), or the Apollo Moon landing hoax theoris...
1) No world leader since December, 1972 has risked the health of a countryman through Van Allen Radiation Belt.
2) No world leader prior to President Richard Nixon risked the health of a countryman through Van Allen Radiation Belt.
3) I am supposed to believe President Nixon risked the health of U.S. citizens for no logical reason, flying U.S. citizens through Van Allen Radiation Belt supposed six times, 1969 to December, 1972?
I have you, an anonymous poster acting as if you know. You may be a dentist or m.d., but you are in over your head.

This is theoretically possible, but in order to get good images of the stuff left on the moon, you would need a monster telescope. Specifically, you would need the biggest land-based telescope ever built. Not exactly a good hobbyist project. However, a satellite-based telescope like the one on the LRO can spot the stuff quite easily, and it would be easy to spot the laser inferometer - if you knew exactly where to look.

I asked ChatGPT how thick the walls of a spaceship would need to be if made from lead to safely pass through the Van Allen belts. This is its response: I can provide a rough range based on existing knowledge and radiation attenuation properties. Considering the relatively low stopping power of lead against high-energy particles in the Van Allen belts, a thickness in the range of several meters to tens of meters may be necessary to achieve some degree of particle flux reduction.
lol. As a teenager I visited and touched one of the actual landers at the Smithsonian in DC. It was about as heavy duty as an Oldsmobile.
