4. Some people believe that the Apollo moon landings were a hoax because astronauts would have been instantly killed in the radiation belts. According to the US Occupation Safety and Health Agency (OSHA) a lethal radiation dosage is 300 Rads in one hour.
What is your answer to the 'moon landing hoax' believers?
Note: According to radiation dosimeters carried by Apollo astronauts, their total dosage for the entire trip to the moon and return was not more than 2 Rads over 6 days.

These threads usually go round and round in circles for hundreds of pages and generally dont conclusively proove anything unequivocally one way or another,I must remember to pack a hammer and a feather if ever I go to the moon.
Yes I believe we have been to the moon....but er not as advertised the civilian program I believe bogus,but not the military one.

The astronauts didn't look up at the sky long enough for their eyes to adapt. They were doing other things, looking around at the terrain, which is quite bright. How many stars do you see when you walk out of a brightly lit building at night?

Let's be honest. My people didn't give your people permission to leave this plane. And you guys won't have permission for a looooong time until your agencies are honest with Earth's residents and have good intentions to begin with. We see and know all.
Them's fighting words . . .
Humanity does not need permission as far as I understand the current situation esotericly.
So, two questions;
Who or what is humanity's jailer?
By what right do they think they can decide humanity's future?
Why? Do you think humanity is entitled to leave this plane? By what right? What religious text granted humanity domain over the Heavens?
Humanity is their own jailer. Your "free will" is the same thing that bonds you. Humanity is still in its infancy. Just look around you. You enslave, kill, and still consume intelligent animals of the Earth. You treat beasts of this plane with little to no dignity. Humanity is hyper xenophobic, even to their own kind. That's the true Lintniss test. If humanity can't be trusted to treat lesser creatures humanely, how can they be trusted in the Cosmic sandbox?
And who do you honestly believe is trying to get initial access to the Stars? Divinely inspired idealists? No it's the killers, mercenaries, and company men of unprincipled psychopaths. Men who are morally bankrupt and of ill disposition. These men look to exploit the stars, not nourish them. This isn't the cast of Star Trek, my friend.
Humanity was given domain over the Earth. Nothing more. Humanity isn't done with rehab yet.

The military is, in some ways, years ahead of where the public is, but in other ways is actually behind where the public is. The F-35 is a great example of that. The processors on that aircraft are only just being upgraded into quad core processors, and it's the first military aircraft to use an off the shelf programming language.

They went up near the pole and through the top of the belts. There was no reason to find holes. The location of the moon allows for a trajectory that doesn't go anywhere near the main part of the belts. The location of Mars and other targets doesn't.
You're saying they use the hole at the emission points of the Earth's magnetic field?
The image you uploaded is similar to a torsion field, a torrid. Correct? In a torsion field there is no "hole" from the surface of the Earth. You're inside a bubble. There is a hole in the top of the funnel of the torrid. But that's outside of the field.
Please elaborate.

Pretty much all of the Apollo astronauts had some kind of health issue from being in space. Cataracts are common in them, and several died later of cancer. There are effects from being in and going through the belts, but they're not going to kill you quickly, and they're not impassible.

The bottom line is this. The new American administration won't tolerate the half truths and indiscretions from the space agency, nor the intelligence departments, as they were previously.
I forecast lots of people looking for new jobs.

You realize that this "new administration" can easily be blackmailed by the IC, right?
You don't piss off the people who gather information, otherwise they'll gather information on you.

I always found the Earth did not look right when I had seen the shots shown in this video. Clouds and landmass seemed, I dunno, too chunky?
Seems like legit video footage. That they are actually in a low orbit below the radiation belt.
I used to believe we went to the moon, but as I grew older more and more of NASA's own stuff made less and less sense to me. Did we forget how to protect from the radiation and how to build a rocket supposedly as powerful as the Saturn V.
Why was video footage projected on a wall before it was then refilmed for TV broadcast?
Why do we need new tech to make going there now survivable, when we had the tech over 40 years ago?
Shouldn't it be a simple case of taking what worked and using more modern materials and technology to improve it?
Seems something as simple as an android tablet could auto pilot a Lunar lander when you take into account tech now vs then.
Why is there so much from NASA saying how we need to work out how to get past the radiation the U.S flew through repeatedly back at the end of the 60's and early 70's?
Were men just made of sterner stuff back then? So much we could ride through 3 days of killer radiation and be just fine?
Also recall seeing on NASA's own site about needing a kind of space suit dock, because of how dangerous dust on the moon is to machines.
Yet look how the astronauts pretty much bathed in the moon's dirt, covered head to toe, did they have a dustbuster to vaccum it all off before re-entering the capsule?
And still to this day I have no decent explaination for why the landers feet were so pristine clean.
I love science fiction and real science. I long for the day when space travel is as common as catching a plane. (Sadly not in our life times though I feel.)
But yeah the more I wish to prove the moon landings were real, the more faker they seem to be.
Has man been to space? Yes. Has man been to the moon? I very much doubt it.
But if anyone can legitimately debunk the video at the start of the post with hard facts and evidence, I am all eyes and ears.
