Woo Hoo I cannot wait to view the same fake landing and now in CG. Give me a break. They didn't even have the technology to land on the damn moon. Radiation alone would have killed the astronauts and penetrated the shuttle. What a damn Joke. Funny how we never went there again. By now if we really did land on the moon then there would be some kind of station built there.
I have to agree with you. They would be using it as a platform to put other craft / satellites into space.
We are still using the same crude rocket propulsion. Once we lose that archaic design will it be possible. I don't care if you are 60 years old and think it happened. You being senile does not help the situation at all.
The Van Allen Radiation Belts consist of a doughnut-shaped region centered around the Earth's magnetic equator, and spanning about 40 degrees of latitude - 20 degrees above and below the magnetic equator. The translunar trajectories followed by the Apollo spacecraft were typically inclined about 30 degrees to the Earth's equator, therefore Apollo bypassed all but the edges of the radiation belts.
It took Apollo about an hour to pass through the radiation belts - once on the outbound trip and once again on the return trip. The total radiation dose received by the astronauts was about one rem. A person will experience radiation sickness with a dose of 100-200 rem, and death with a dose of 300+ rem.
Science. And yes, I copied and pasted this information from a website. But look it up and verify this information before you pass it off. It is verified data about Van Allen and the actual radiation levels.
Honestly do you believe everything on the internet / tv? Who is today that they shuttle and suits were built and designed correctly. We are talking about the 60s here people. Also, our technology from then has yet to exceed any amazing boundaries. US had to make this moon landing because politically they were losing against Russia. It’s common damn sense. And on top of it, why hasn't china or Russia traveled yet to the moon. Are they banned from there because we supposedly put the US flag on it. You give me one good reason besides money why we never sent anyone there again? Or even built a research facility? There should be no price tag too big for modern day advancement. Imagine if we really cold send a space ship up there to travel anywhere.
Also there are 100s more reasons why that moon landing was staged. The pictures alone were fake, have you ever seen picture crop markers half above and half under?
In regards to your "picture crop markers" those were on the lens of the camera. We are dealing with '60s state of the art camera film. That happens when the film is over-exposed. The white (over-exposed areas) bleed into the darker non-exposed areas. Take a photography class bud.
The picture issue? It's called bleed. Overexposure causes the white parts of the picture to bleed over into the black crosshairs. Did you think they'd somehow painted crosshairs on the back of the film set and forgot that the foreground would get in the way? Or decided to add crosshairs afterwards, but messed it up instead of just using a camera with crosshairs? And then nobody noticed it so they released it anyway?
Either they are incompetent boobs who messed up their fakery - and yet somehow managed to convince the scientific and military might of the Soviet Union that it was all real - or there's a simple, non-dramatic, non-consipiracy explanation. Considering the amount of evidence that the moon landings were real (eyewitness accounts, radar, telescopes, radio, moon rocks, reflectors left on the moon we can still bounce lasers off today, etc etc) then you need a lot more than a non-issue like that to raise questions.
Oh, I don't take everything I read, hear or watch for granted - but I still believe in some things. For example, I believe that Las Vegas exists, in spite of having never been there or seen it with my own eyes. There's enough evidence from other sources to convince me that Las Vegas is real, even though it could all be a big hoax aimed at folling me for some dark, unknown reason. It's a matter of balancing what evidence you have, considering where it comes from, and considering the likelihood of the source being corrupted or in error. I'm not willing to believe that every reference to Las Vegas in fiction, history, the news, sports, entertainment, etc etc is all faked by a central mystery conspiracy that controls all that media. I'm not willing to believe that all the tons of evidence of the moon landings from different sources, including multiple non-US sources, is all under conspiritorial control either.
Finally, Russia dropped its moon program because it lost the race, and immediately went into "meh, we don't care, it's not important to us" mode rather than spend loads more money for very little glory. China in the 1960's could not do it. China now can, and has started a moon program; but no nation is willing to spend as aggressively now on a manned space program as the USA was back then. You may think that there's no price tag too big for the research, but trust me, you're in the minority. Money was a good enough reason to cancel a great many things. If you really need another reason, it was becasue the technology was just about possible then, and was not mature enough nor advanced enough to do much more than what was done. Moonbases with Apollo-tech wasn't going to happen; we might just about be able to do it today, but there are still challenges, not the least of which is, unfortunately, cost.

They didn't use the shuttle. That wasn't built yet.
By radiation, I assume that you're talking about the Van Allen radiation belts. For an analysis of radiation received and how it is not a dangerous dose:

For more information, the Biomedical Results from Apollo:

Unless you have some actual evidence, as opposed to unsubstantiated wild accusations, I am not convinced.
this is science, not non-verifiable speculation.
