From the above link ...

This is complete and utter nonsense. The van Allen belts are regions above the Earth's surface where the Earth's magnetic field has trapped particles of the solar wind. An unprotected man would indeed get a lethal dose of radiation, if he stayed there long enough. Actually, the spaceship traveled through the belts pretty quickly, getting past them in an hour or so. There simply wasn't enough time to get a lethal dose, and, as a matter of fact, the metal hull of the spaceship did indeed block most of the radiation. For a detailed explanation of all this, my fellow Mad Scientist William Wheaton has a page with the technical data about the doses received by the astronauts. Another excellent page about this, that also gives a history of NASA radiation testing, is from the Biomedical Results of Apollo site. An interesting read!

It was also disingenuous of the program to quote the Russian cosmonaut as well. Of course they were worried about radiation before men had gone into the van Allen belts! But tests done by NASA showed that it was possible to not only survive such a passage, but to not even get harmed much by it. It looks to me like another case of convenient editing by the producers of the program.

The insult still remains ... You are one of those people that think we faked the moon landings.

Let's take advantage of the opportunity and start a real debate on this thread, with the following question:

Who is more the kook: The person who says the moon landings were fake, or the person who says they were abducted by aliens?

My vote is for the former. We have good scientific proof that the landings occurred, but we really can't 100% prove that aliens haven't taken people. Although I do question the alien's judgement based on the sample humans they always seem to take

Do we have any lunar cheese left over from the U.S. landing to prove it?!!!

I think the thing that makes me believe there was a moon landing is the Soviets.
They never tried to claim the US landing was a hoax,which at the time it took place they would have done if they'd even had the slightest bit of evidence.
