it is also a Historical FACT that NASA landed men on the moon.
It is a historical CLAIM...
The debate for me will only be settled...once we will be able to go some Earth telescope and look up the "relics" and the hardware (not to mention rover tracks) with our own blue eyes, in detail. Not pics from NASA various missions...but first hand viewing. Until such time...it will always be up for debate, because the claimers are unable to provide a proof of claim that can not be recreated via other "earthly" means.
39 astronauts have developed cataracts, which have been shown to have been cause by cosmic radiation. 36 of them were involved in high radiation missions such as the lunar missions. Further, Apollo 13 astronaut Jack Swigert died of cancer in 1982. Apollo 7 astronaut Walter Schirra contracted mesothelioma and died in 2007 following a heart attack caused by complications. Astronaut Deke Slayton died following a battle with a malignant brain tumor. While not an Apollo astronaut, Slayton did fly in space on Apollo-Soyuz. They didn't all go unscathed.

Tell me, how many of these "countless thousands of probes" had actual people aboard? I know the answer, do you? With no humans aboard, you can, SHUT DOWN THE CRITICAL SYSTEMS while passing through the dangerous areas. Try that with humans aboard and you have a space coffin.

because the ENTIRE WORLD is in on the hoax right?? entire countries like india, japan, china, russia.. they are all part of the hoax, the only people who are not in on the hoax are hoax theorists am i right?

They actually are:
Close minded to anything that doesn't fit their preconceived worldview.
Questioning without wanting to hear the answers, which is not 'questioning' at all.
The opposite of skeptics, skepticism requires that all information be examined.
Dismissive of information unless it somehow supports their already firmly held beliefs, the truth is irrelevant to them.

6 had actual people aboard... 40 years ago with inferior technology and scientific understanding.
but we haven't had 6 space coffins

The entire world has been fooled multiple times in the past, and has fall for much bigger lies from religion, politicians, agencies, banks, marketing organizations, etc.
Its easy to lie about something others can't or don't dare to disprove.

And then the conspiracy theorists will say that the relics were put there by secret missions decades later, and the cycle of woo will begin again...
Can anybody here post up some hard maths and science to refute the numbers that show that the radiation dose encountered by the astronauts passing through the Van Allen belts was pretty trivial?
Anyone?
If A14 had spent 1 more hour in the belts those numbers would have increased by many more orders of magnitude and the astronauts would have got radiation sickness from it.
