    How exactly would the Van Allen Belts stop people going into space?
    How much radiation exactly do you get as you pass through it?

    it alo looks like alot of the so called shuttle missions are faked as well.

    Which ones?
    There's detailed video of all shuttle launches and landings and the ISS has had new stuff installed on most missions?
    Why the hell would they fake the shuttle missions?

    you are never going to see shots of the moon sites , they do not exist .
    they will keep telling you they will shoot them , but they wont .

    although NASA did send craft to the moon, not one man was on them .
    and they sent saturns into earth orbit only .

    the van allen belts make sure that
    humans cannot fly more than 500 k or so from the planet.

    it was all a very convincing and expensive fake .

    sad, i was was huge fan of apollo and the missions , but the evidance is now compelling
    that it never happend .

    it alo looks like alot of the so called shuttle missions are faked as well.

    Did anyone see the latest shuttle pass over Ireland the other night? Pretty amazing really and defintely not faked. In my opinion we arent told half of what our governments are doing up there. I dont really know a lot about this subject but here's my 2 cents anyway :).

    I'm not sure this is the case...particularly not when you look at individuals rather than blanketing all those who believe in or suspect a faked landing with the same logic.

    On an individual basis, the question should always be asked: what will it take for you to accept that <some position> is wrong.

    This question is unbiased. Its as valid for people who believe that NASA really did land men on the moon in 1969, the way they said they did as it is for people who believe that they didn't go there, or they went there but didn't land, or that they sent an unmanned craft there (which did or didn't land), or that alien technology was involved, or....

    Until someone can define what it would take to convince them that a position is wrong, then they can never, under any circumstances, be convinced that some other position is right.

    So rather than knocking people because they'll never accept evidence that some position they don't hold is true, I believe they should be asked what it would take to convince them that the position they hold is wrong.

    This, of course, doesn't hold true for those who claim to sit on the fence....they don't hold a position, so they can't be convinced that it is wrong. They should, however, be able to define what it would take for them to rule out specific positions....to narrow the fence they're sitting on, so to speak.

    If the question cannot be answered, or can only be answered with something which is impossible (or sufficiently improbable to be considered impossible), then you've established that "nothing will do". On the other hand, if an answer is supplied, then you've got something to work with.

    I've seen all their arguments.

    And I mean ALL of them. I've studied it - seen the DVDs, films, etc etc

    All their science is laughably wrong for any serious scientist though for the layman there would be some doubts.
    Not all technology is easily understood, some is counter intuitive. For example - the Lunar lander, while appearing very unstable, due to the use of gyroscopes is actually safer to land than a conventional gliding (air)craft.
    And going further into that - one of the hoax theorists 'scientific' proofs is that the Lander would crash as the crew would destabilise it with any shift of weight/centre of gravity.
    In actual fact the rockets which power the lander have also to cope with the centre of gravity changing as fuel is depleted.
    The whole science of the hoax theorists is schoolboy howler stuff.
    Every single scientific point they make is nonsense.


    From that I deduce, and agree with the universally held conclusion that the hoax theorists believe it was a hoax, not on the grounds of any evidence, but because they want to believe it.

    The idea that gov is lying and out to fool you is paramount to them.

    i want to say one thing - I was an apollo fan , since being a baby.

    and knew everything about the flights , and it was crushing to realise when the evidence out there is examined - that most - if not all , the flights never happened.

    they went in to earth orbit , and faked the lot in a studio .

    and for sure ap 11 and armstrong never went anywhere near the moon.

    have a look at jarrah white s videos on you tube . it may take some time , but its worth it - particularly the radiation ones.

    there is nothing laughable about the science fact that van allen discovered belts of radiation that would fry any human in a matter of hours- and those guys would have been exposed to 8 hours of the belts per flight at least .


    the radiation ones also pertain some SOME shuttle missions tv downloads being faked - IMO still consdiering this one -

    but apollo - definitley has a nasty smell about it .

    and so does any space flight outside 400 miles or so of the planet .
    they tested it in gemini and realised they would be crisped if they flew any further.

    the south altlantic anonamly alone is an issue for the shuttle - so imagine what the full belts would do to you .

    even if the belts didnt exist - do you think you can safely fly around a star which is spewing un shielded hi energy radiation in every direction ?

    if you get a sunburn in 20 minutes at sea level after the UV going thru the atmosphere
    imagine what the hell else is out there in open space.

    the sun is an 800000 mile wide H bomb - youd need at least 2 inches of lead to fly to the moon and back , and no way youd walk on it .



    if you have shedloads of money , and you know you cannot go to the moon , because you will die - the only option when your president promised it - is to fake it .

    Here;s a link to the science behind passing the Van Allen Belt. You can check the figures yourself, if you want: http://www.wwheaton.com/waw/mad/mad19.html

    And how much radiation exactly did they receive going through the Belts?

    Have you noticed that if you cover up your body you don't get sunburn?

    Did you know that the most dangerous (does the most damage) type of radiation is blocked by a sheet of paper?
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_particle

    Did you know that the second most dangerous type of radiation is stopped by a sheet of aluminium?
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_particle

    So how much radiation do you get exposed to going thruogh the Van Allen Belts?

    The first images are in:

    The Apollo 14 one is the best.

    so explain why no other craft has ventured out side 400 miles or so then ?

    except appolo , and the tests of gemini ?

    surely wed like to go alot further out , if we could , but we cant - there you go

    Because there hasn't been missions that needed to?
    Because there wasn't the funds or public support for more moon missions?
    Because Nasa shifted it's focus to setting up a space station and then focused on developing the shuttle?

    We do want to go further out but a mission to Mars is completely different to a moon mission. The biggest difference is that it would take six months to actually get there,

    So how much radiation do you get going through the belts?
    How exactly do you know it will kill any of the astronauts?

    Did you read the link Humanji posted?

    And why didn't Russia (who sent a few probes to the Moon) not point out the fact the radiation would kill the astronauts and thereby expose the fraud?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 90 ✭✭ihatewallies


    This is my last comment on this, because as other posters have pointed out, the hoax theorists cannot be convinced by any evidence - they 'know' it's all a fake.

    There are very many clincher arguments why the lunar landings were real, but the one about the Russians is very good.

    The argument we are given is that the landings were faked to get one over the Russians in the cold war.

    But the Russians had a serious space program of their own (they put the 1st man into orbit).
    They had the radio and tracking equipment to monitor anything the Americans did.
    They would know for example if the Apollo mission was really in orbit around the moon as well as all the other key details.
    If they believed the US was faking the Moon trips they would have been the 1st onto the rooftops crying 'FOUL!".
    Given the emnity between the USA and Russia, I suspect they would have cried 'foul' even if they believed the landings were real but couldn't be proved.

    Instead, the Russians readily accept that the moon landings were real.

    The Van Allen belt is not as dangerous as the bogus science of the hoax theorists allege.
    You would have to remain in the belt for many days to even be in any minimal danger - the astronauts pass through it in a couple of hours.

    Again the Russians would have been the 1st crying that no astronauts could survive the Van Allen belt - if this was true.

    There is not one shred of evidence that the whole thing was faked - every argument of the hoax theorists is laughable schoolboy howler science.

    Now, if you argue that something is a lie and a con, then you yourself have to be 100% impeccable in your arguments - you cannot resort to lies yourself.
    But as each nonsense scientific point of the hoaxers is dismantled, they want to move onto another argument, they are not detered by the fact that their argument was a childish misunderstanding of the science.

    On this point alone their integrity is shredded.

    There will always be people ready to believe anything no matter how cracked.
    Some people cannot understand simple scientific concepts.

    I had an interesting discussion with one such who told me that rockets couldn't possibly travel in the vacuum of space because, as there was no 'air' ,the rocket propulsion would have nothing to 'press' against and so would just burn and the rocket would remain motionless.

    I'll bet there's a few hoax theorists reading this who'll think I've just given them another reason why the whole thing was a fake.......:D :D

    You're treading very close to insulting other members of this forum with comments like that.

  • Registered Users Posts: 3,268 ✭✭✭DubTony


    I just know that if I posted pictures like those that Mob linked to, as proof of anything, I could certainly expect to be challenged on it.

    Those pictures are hardly conclusive evidence. Google can see my car in the driveway. I'm looking forward to this thing doing a lot better.

    When is the LROC expected to reach it's final orbit?

    The high resolution images are taken from planes, not satellites. Ever wondered why you can only make out splodges of green and sea for most of the planet on google maps/earth? They'd be the satellite images. They're only going to pay for a plane to survey places that enough people are interested in.

    The difference is though no one is relying on these pictures as proof.

    There's a metric ton of other stuff that does prove we went to the moon.

    Why oh why, if you were to fake it...would you do it 6 times? We landed on the moon and will do it again...FACT!

    Granted. But the perfect proof to dispel the "theory" is photographs.So does anyone know when this thing will reach its final orbit?

    I presume Mahatma Coat still wants to see Sheppards golf ball.

    According to wikipeida it's still in its commissioning phase where they're powering up and test the various instruments.
    This will last about 60 days.

    But even when they are in final orbit, the resoultion will still be only 2-3 times better.
    The images still won't convince believers.

    I doubt there'd be any rush for them to image the landers again now that the anniversary has passed.
    Nasa has better thing to do.
