“How do we go to the Moon when the Van Allen belt prevents us from leaving Earth's lower orbit?”The Mechanic wrote:Black Orchid wrote:Mechanic you really do not believe we have been to the moon?
You know it would cost more to try to fake it?
not so...
we can't get through the van Allan belts..
NASA admit this...
other Astronauts admit we can't go passed lower Earths Orbit...
they have just sent probes through the Van Allan belts to learn more about them so that we can build a space ship good enough to go through them without killing the astronauts...
they found an Extra Belt that they didn't even know about...
so if we can't get through the Van Allan Radiation belt now... what makes you think they did back in 69 (49 years ago) in not much more than a tin can??
Did someone tell you humans went to the Moon? Do you not believe them? Why not? Do you think the U.S. Government, schools, other country governments, engineers and scientists are all in on a conspiracy?
How did you come to know that there is radiation in the Van Allen belts? Did someone tell you that the Van Allen belts have too much radiation to safely pass through? Were you told that by a school, a government, an engineer or a scientist? Why do you believe them?
How did you come to know the flux levels in the Van Allen belts and the safe exposure levels or unsafe exposure levels? Did you read that in a book that the U.S. government allowed to be published?
There is a possibility that you have personally conducted orbital experiments and measured the type and intensity of electromagnetic radiation in those regions of space and determined the acceptable flux levels. In which case I apologize in advance for my questions.
There is a possibility that you refuse to accept any knowledge from others and suspect what others consider well-settled science. That is fine, but understand that you actually know nothing because you only trust your first-hand experience and you haven’t had much experience.
