No, the van Allen radiation belts weren't deal breakers for the Apollo astronauts. They really did go to the Moon. Want weekly Vintage Space ?

Look at the eentsy weentsy wobbly piece of equipment that blasted ferociously off from the moon please www.youtube.com/watch?v=yn1S- flYkaQ And tell us why there are no jets of flame or exhaust under it. Do you honestly think it connected with the rocket orbiting earth at 4000 mph thru space for the return trip?
No oxygen on the moon :)
No oxygen on the moon :) if there is no oxygen then there can be no combustion thus no thrust.
While true, the difference between a jet and a rocket is precisely that a rocket carries it's own supply of oxygen, while a jet takes it from the environment. The moon landing used rockets. While the US government has lied about many things, I don't consider the moon landing to be one of them. All of the landing sites can be and have been photographed from earth and show signs of activity. The various claims of evidence of it was faked have been debunked, at least to my satisfaction.
Why did they stop the moon walks, Ping, and why are astronots and other experts talking today as if they never happened? www.renegadetribune.com/nasa-inadvertently-admits-we-never-went-to-the- moon/? Donald Pettit says we "destroyed" the technology and it's too "painful" to recreated it. In other words the dog ate my homework?
Because there's no financial reason to continue them. It's a rock. There are no natural resources there to be harvested. With no public will, there's no political will. It was and would be expensive to return, with little to no reward for doing so. That astronaut looks all of 27 years old, and while the context is unclear, it's probably nothing more than him embellishing the space hazards of the van allen radiation belts to impress his audience. There are 2 separate belts and the main one is donut shaped above the equator. The Apollo missions simply exited earth's orbit at a higher latitude to avoid the worst of it, and in any event, was through it in a short enough time to avoid significant exposure. Supposedly it would take a month to absorb a lethal amount of radiation in the belts. As for electronics, 60's tech didn't used transistors which are everywhere today, but vacume tubes which are immune to radiation. I don't know how transistors hold up to radiation. Maybe they require shielding that the Apollo missions didn't require. One could probably raise all kinds of similar claims about how internal combustion engines should not work because of heat, lubrication, timing and a myriad of other issues involved. But just because the common person doesn't understand everything about how the internal combustion engines work does not mean they are a hoax. Obviously they do work. By the same token, it's not fair to require one understand all issues involved with the Apollo space missions to conclude they were real. Edit: Looking this up, it appears the photos I've seen have been from NASA's lunar orbiter, not from earth, and one site argues that even the Hubble scope doesn't have the power to show the moon landing activity, much to my surprise. The below are the images I referred to, but they are apparently from Lunar orbit, not earth, so could be suspect.

The rockets launched from S Florida, moon probes have continued (e.g. looking for water), they want to populate Mars now, "no telescope on Earth can see the leftover descent stages of the Apollo Lunar Modules or anything else Apollo-related"
The Apollo Guidance Computer used transistors, not vacuum tubes. The CPU was made from Resistor-Transistor Logic (RTL) integrated circuits. The RTL circuitry didn't rely on electric charge to maintain the state of its sequential circuits, so it was less susceptible to cosmic ray induced errors than more modern circuitry would be. The magnetic rope (read only) memory was probably pretty safe, and I would guess that the magnetic core (RAM) memory was also.

Photos of the moon from earth show the landing sites with prior activity consistent with the Apollo landings. It's there for everyone to see 2 weeks out of every month. Would that not be sufficient proof?
