Apollo passed through the north portion of the belts where they're thinnest, and made a quick transit. Orion can't do that, because it's not just going to the moon.

What I think is the most interesting citation from him is (perhaps apocryphal), that to justify space based weapons external enemies would be churned up: Russians, terrorists, asteroids, then finally aliens.

Who knows if a real quote.

You forgot Rogue Nations at #3. Then asteroids, then E.T.

Apparently there are plenty of missing Moon rock pieces. One of which is estimated to have a value of £3 million and is lying in an Irish dump. Nobody's ever going to find a 2g stone in 1000s of tons of waste.

Can you give an example of where NASA has not given a straight answer about anything?
There seem to be plenty of straight answers on their website about lots and lots of things.
NASA's curious reticence to supply
these facts and materials relevant to a thorough evaluation of Apollo
program management brought the credibility of NASA and its top
management into sharp question.
This inital lack of candor as to the existence and then the status of
the Phillips report threatened one of the essential assets of the space
program-the confidence of the American public...
The serious contractor
deficiencies noted by the Phillips task force should certainly have
been reported to the committee at the time of the 1967 budget hearings,
if not before. We are disturbed at the possibility that, had there been no disaster,
important shortcomings in management, scheduling, design, produc- tion, and quality control might never have come to light.
We are also concerned that NASA did not make clear to the con- tractor ~hat inferior performance would lead the Agency to seek
other sources for the hardware
Thus NASA's failure to inform the Congress of this grave situation
was an unquestionably serious dereliction.
Nonetheless, in response to such questions about the Phillips report, both NASA officials and representatives of the NASA contractor attempted to mislead the committee and evaded giving frank answers.
Even when the facts of the Phillips review became known, NASA
and NAA officials attempted to mislead members of the committee
by engaging in a "semantic waltz" as to ·whether there was in fact a
"report" or merely some informal "notes" made by the general and his
associates. (The, Phillips report is entitled "NASA Review Team
Report" and it called' a report no less than 10 times in the text.)
