Prove it. They haven't tried to send anyone through the belts since Apollo 17. And we have communications just fine with satellites that went through the belts, or are those fake too?

It makes me wonder why the moon model had to be so exact in detail? So no one could discern the real moon from a fake one in pictures? Even the lighting was matched? Also was there two different moon models? One picture in the link shows a man measuring the craters and another model seems to be behind him in the distance. I wonder if that one represent the dark side of the moon?

They communicate with Voyager, they were communicating with Magellan, they communicate just fine with the Mars rovers and probes, with Hubble which is usually above the belts, with periods that go through them. All those communications signals go through the Van Allen Belts quite nicely, and they don't have any problems with them.
And what astronauts "passed out" in the Belts? They've reported seeing "streaks" in their vision but that's it.

Your own supposed evidence and seemingly main reason why they supposedly didnt go is working against you my friend.
The Van Allen belts don't really protect Earth from much of anything. They are regions of high energy particles trapped by the Earth's magnetic field
NOW what protected them against the solar corpuscular radiation which the Van Allen Belt protects earth against?
They wouldn't. Not if extremely high levels of radiation were expected to be encountered. But no such levels were expected, nor encountered. It was studied quite extensively before man ever went there. While there was a certain risk involved with the possibility of a SEP event occurring during a mission the chances were slight and contingency plans were in effect.
i mean, why would NASA send 24 people into a region of space, where the particles could be charged to an alarming rate without any notice where there is no protection, because solar corpuscular radiation can penetrate aluminum and a space suit for that matter.

What are you calling "corpuscular radiation"? I'm not really familiar with that term. Do you mean particle radiation? Yes, the magnetosphere does capture that stuff. That's what accounts for the high levels of radiation within the Van Allen belts. Much higher levels than in the regions beyond the belts. But, since the regions of the belts of very high radiation were avoided and since the transit time of those regions was brief, the belts did not pose a significant risk.

Well you wouldn't need to pay hundreds and thousands of people, they didn't get on that ship did they? Nor have they ever seen with their own eyes our planet from space. They literrally would only have to pay like 24 people and maybe 100 to keep their mouths shut, oh wait no they wouldn't b/c they were in on it, and the person that did speak out against it who was Virgil "Gus" Grissom, what happened to him? killed! and in a most terrible way possible too, so yeah after seeing something like that i think it's easy to keep someone shut.
Also if even you witnessed those rockets launch with your own eyes, how in the world do you know where they are going, without someone else telling you where, or broadcasting it on the television? b/c otherwise, you and i have no idea.
So your also telling me U.S has no counter measures for Russians Tracking systems, you people claim they were in a race wouldn't that be so?
And i am gonna say this one time, EVEN today NASA cannot send humans safely through the belt, even for a short period of time, communication becomes impossible, and the astronauts pass out which makes me wonder how in the world they did it in the 60's? their excuse, "some sheet of plastic is enough", and to this day that is the biggest factor it doubting their footage, not doubting if they built the rockets or actually put men into orbit, but them actually sending men to their deaths and then them safely coming back, with no side effects of the radiation.

Alright, lets play a little game then, lets just say that the aluminum was sufficient enough to protect the astronauts inside the Van Allen Belt, lets just say okay...

So what your saying is that the man who discovered, researched the belt and had it named after him is in fact wrong about the nature of said belt and the space outside of it?
And you personally know more about this belt than said sceintist?

You need to watch Capricorn One, not to take into account as fact's but it does show how it can be done, just saying, if you didn't watch it it's a pretty good movie, and in Russia there are conspiracy theories among people that Russians never even went into low earth orbit, b/c they were working on spy satellites also, and that is all they were working on just like NASA.
So for the Russians to say "Americans faked it" would be them admitting that their space program was a staged coo also.
just saying.

No the conspiracy isn't that Russians faked their program but that they never sent out a HUMAN into orbit, but just like in the movie Capricorn one the astronaut was pulled out the last second, oh i wish i could find the Russian Doc on it, it had subtitles also but it's been like 2 years now and still no luck
Just saying that the rocket could have been launched empty, it's the only explanation i could think of, and then the rest of it was filmed, low earth orbit, moon landing and the whole shebang (except the launch and construction of it)
Well i my self used to believe the Moon landing, then right after i was told they dropped the program with 3 rockets retired without flight, my first though was instantly "Just doesn't smell right"
Or maybe it's just my childhood and seeing a UFO fly over my neighborhood 60 feet above us the size of a football field, silent, and black as black can get, plus i have seen UFO's multiple times, not saying it's alien, but there is definitely something were not being told you know. (off topic but i have my doubts)

I'm not a skeptic in the broad sense
I too have seen and experienced some strange things
UFO and paranormal in my time
I have to agree with you that something dosnt ring true about them not going back
I don't want to be put in the tin foil hat brigade but yeh maybe they found something that made them not go back?
Or maybe it was just political or economical
It's starting to look as if the ones who will find out will either be china or private space programs as the US just dosnt seem interested anymore....
Not even a replacement for the shuttle just an unmanned one.
Peace

Explain the difference between radiation on earth and in space. Once you understand that, you'll understand why thinner is better. Until you realize that there's a huge difference between the two, you'll keep arguing that lead and DU are the best shields, which will kill anyone onboard.

I didn't say anything about lead or DU. I requested some sources on aluminum and fibrous insulation being adequate shielding in the VA Belts. I'm still waiting.
So, how about it?
