The radiation band around the moon is too much for that thin spaceship and those thin space-suits to have made it. How is that nonsense?
I kind of hope you are kidding - but if you're not you ought to be aware that nasa spent years studying the van allan problem before the moon mission, and the short version is that the carefully planned trajectory went through the thinnest part of the belts very quickly - the dosimeters on board registering 0.38 rad.
I pray this is a joke, @EBohio, because if that is true then you do absolutely no science research on the subject
That is because x-rays can cause mutations over extended exposure. And if a simple belt is enough to protect your stones, what makes you think a space suit that weighs as much as you do is not enough to protect the rest of you?
A space suit made out of that belt the dentist uses would be so heavy they wouldn't have been able to move. And it doesn't always work...there have been plenty of people that got cancer from too many dental x-rays and sued. None of the NASA astronauts that went to the moon had any serious medical conditions let alone cancer before they died.
From the Wikipedia article on Jack Swigert: In 1982, during his political campaign, Swigert developed a malignant tumor in his right nasal passage. He underwent surgery, but the cancer spread to his bone marrow and lungs
Now you're being self contradictory. First you said that it is not nonsense that the moon landings were fake because there's a belt of radiation around the moon. We question that, and you say your dentist makes you wear a belt over your bits before doing X-rays... on your face. We point out why that is, and how the logic behind that renders your earlier claim that the energy of decomposing atoms around the moon would make entering the area aroudn said spacerock lethal. Then you turn around and say that none of the moon landers were harmed, thus renderuing your earlier argument that the moon is too radioactive void
there's an interesting article here about the van allen belt issues https://www.popsci.com/blog-network/vintage-space/apollo-rocketed-through-van-allen-belts
There's also this article on how cosmic radiation has negatively affected the Apollo astronauts. https://observer.com/2016/07/space-radiation-devastated-the-lives-of-apollo-astronauts/ With the actual report here: https://www.nature.com/articles/srep29901
The point was that small amounts of radiation can cause cancer but none of the astronauts that went developed any. Statitstics say somebody should have. Look at how just dust from a building caused all kinds of ilnness in first responders after 9/11 .
