Here's one answer...of course nobody reads the answers. These conspiracy theories are worse than fake news for me. + 3.1 Isn't it impossible for a human to travel through the van Allen radiation belts and live? The van Allen "belts" are zones of radiation where high speed particles (such as protons and electrons) that have been trapped from the Solar wind by the Earth's magnetic fields. The inner van Allen belt extends from about 1,000 to 5,000 kilometers above Earth's surface, the outer van Allen belt extends from about 15,000 to 25,000 kilometers above Earth's surface. The radiation in the van Allen belts was a serious concern for the Apollo program. The Apollo spacecraft were designed to provide some protection from the van Allen radiation, but more than that the mission was designed so that astronauts spent the least possible amount of time in the van Allen belts. The actual amount of radiation received by the Apollo astronauts during their passage through the van Allen belts is difficult to determine but it is estimated to be about 2 rems (or 20 milli-Sieverts). In comparison, a modern chest X-ray will deliver about 10-20 millirems to the subject, radiation doses from background radiation (cosmic rays, radon, uranium deposits, etc.) for the average human living on Earth is on the order of 100 millirems per year, and annual doses for people working around radiation (for example, X-ray technicians, nuclear power plant workers, etc.) can range up to 0.4 rems per year. The "maximum permissible dose" for radiation workers on Earth is 5 rems per year or 25 rems in a single emergency exposure. A 25-100 rem dose will increase a person's chance of developing cancer. Around 100-200 rems, a person will experience nausea several hours after exposure. Above 300 rems, severe vomiting, and hemorrhaging will result nearly immediately, loss of hair, and other health effects will result fairly rapidly, greater than half of the people exposed to this much radiation will die within 2 months. Above 800 rems, diarrhea, dehydration, and problems with digestive organs will result rapidly, over 90% of people exposed to this much radiation will die within two weeks. Above several thousand rems, death results in a few days and convulsions and nervous system failure occurs almost immediately. So, 2 rems is certainly a lot, but by no means would it cause instant death or illness. And in fact is most likely to cause no noticeable immediate or long term effects.
I just don't understand why people question the moon landing but Noah's ark was possible? https://ncse.com/cej/4/1/impossible-voyage-noahs-ark
I can understand if you're at least consistent in saying things are fake but that's not the case...most conspiracy theories are selective and with an agenda in my opinion.
I'm not sure...anti government or anti NASA or anti science. I really don't know...my husband was a big UFO believer and maybe some conspiracy theories so I had enough from him, I usually tuned him out then...even though I loved him. I try to avoid this section but it pops up in recent posts! Wish we could block a whole forum board. I actually become physically ill in this section...I'm not exaggerating ....I'm sorry but I can't help it. This is my last post here...Ive finally calmed down, lol. Maybe I'll just stick to the good morning post.
Oh yea - that too As always we'll never know the truth and I have more important things to concern meself with like me feet
Here is a statement made by Werner Von Braun and it describes what he thought would be required for any country to land a manned space rocket on the moon. "It is commonly believed that man will fly directly from the earth to the moon, but to do this, we would require a vehicle of such gigantic proportions that it would prove an economic impossibility. It would have to develop sufficient speed to penetrate the atmosphere and overcome the earth’s gravity and, having traveled all the way to the moon, it must still have enough fuel to land safely and make the return trip to earth. Furthermore, in order to give the expedition a margin of safety, we would not use one ship alone, but a minimum of three ... each rocket ship would be taller than New York’s Empire State Building [almost 1⁄4 mile high] and weigh about ten times the tonnage of the Queen Mary, or some 800,000 tons.” Wernher von Braun, the father of the Apollo space program, writing in Conquest of the Moon There is an interesting article that goes completely into detail about the whole subject of whether we actually went to the moon or not. It has a lot of good information and poems some good questions about this topic. The article is called "Wagging the Moondoggie", and here is a link to the PDF version of this article. http://www.whale.to/c/Dave McGowan - Wagging The Moon Doggie.pdf
Actually...not quite. With the Bible...the general consensus has been that, the subject matter isn`t to be taken literally, by and large, but is purely open to individual interpretation.
@Yvonne Smith Thanks for the David McGowan link. It seems all of the original hard data, tapes and blueprints have been "accidentally" lost.
The original Moondoggie manuscript used to be on Dave McGownas's website, along with some of the Laura Canyon manuscript. Dave just wanted to educate people and had it out there where anyone could read it for if you didn't want to buy the book. However, he suddenly died of cancer (just like some of the other researchers have done), and when I went back to the website, everything was gone, and his daughter said it was going to be published and sold. Some people apparently believed this would happen, and the downloaded the whole manuscript before it was taken offline, and I believe that is probably how this copy happened to be there. The Laurel Canyon books are about what really went on with the development of rock music back in the 60-70's, and it is pretty interesting reading and are on Amazon. He also wrote about the Boston Bombing, and several other important topics. Here is a link to more info, @Joe Riley . http://whale.to/b/mcgowan_h.html
