Moon landing conspiracy theorists - lend me your ears.

This is interesting stuff.

Another issue raised by skeptics is how were the astronauts able to pass through the Van Allen radiation belts, without being affected at all?

The Apollo capsules flew a curved path, it took them around the hottest parts and required a mid-course burn to correct the path to/from the Moon. They also passed through pretty quickly so didn't get a big dose. The capsule also gave a bit of protection. The astronauts that spend months on the International Space Station get a larger cumulative dose.

Why are we even debating this? We know the Earth is flat, so the obvious first place to fly is underneath the Earth? What's there?

Many or any reports of astronauts being struck down with leukemia or other radiation sicknesses?

Those in the public eye at least seem to experience longevity.

None that I know of. I could be wrong though, there may be a handful.

Ohwow. This one appeared on NEws.com.au today.

Businessman raising 1 million in bizarre attempt to recreate 9/11 attacks ‘to prove conspiracies’

Ah yes, Thailand is well known for having 100 floor tall skyscrapers constructed in the same way as the wtc buildings littering the countryside. Not sure that $1million would even get an old 747 in flyable condition let alone fueling it and various other logistics, sounds like a well thought through plan. Should be a thorough and conclusive test that he will definitely get the money and approval for.

Sorry messed up the inbed on the phone. Basically discusses how much radiation people get exposed too. Astronauts don't get as much exposure as the average smoker.

$1 million wouldn't even buy the special ingredients/equipment needed to create the 'dustification' process.

If you say Skeptic one more fucking time. They are deniers. Not skeptics, skeptics are sceptical of "results with little proof" not the complete opposite.

[Spammy]

Yes... Sceptics point out the flaws in water divining, astrology etc. People who claim 9/11 attacks were a hoax, man didn't walk on the moon are just mentally disturbed.

I did some in depth research for you.
The governmental fools left their secrets on Wikipedia thinking we wouldn't find them!

Not sure but Id expect given some time the dust/etc would tend to group together, it isnt just spread out everywhere.

Yep, we tend to call those accumulations of space dust "planets".

don't forget that time the US launched heaps of copper needles into space to improve communications!

Aerodynamics and wall/shell strength are totally irrelevant so long as theres no pressure difference between the inside and outside of the vehicle.

personally id prefer to ride in a structure than is capable of withstanding the inertial loads....

At 0.1m/s2 youd still get to 4000kmhr in about 3 hours. There isn't necessarily any substantial forces.

For reference thats roughly 100th a single G force

Everyone I have known that has said the moon landing was fake sooner or later has been classed as a total fucking nutter, in that way it's a really good question to ask to filter out those that get past the religion filter.
