The article I read was riffing off this famous video, with this lunatic (no pun intended) NASA guy's discussion:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4O5dPsu66Kw

These comments reflect my take, too.

Stevan Terzic

Get ready for Mars Landing people....this time we won't be able to find the fakery...with the current CGI Technology it will look indistinguishable.

I want my money back from purchasing Apollo 13

JonathanAnon

Why don't they just jump start the old Apollo space craft and send it to the moon again. No point in reinventing the wheel :-)

SiGUY E

Soooo.....They are saying they never went to the moon in 1969? Jason Ray

So easy back in the 60s

Adventures & Survival in Thailand

he's talking like Apollo never happened ?? totally weird

Why is it alway’s NASA? No. For real, why is it that in all of these kinds of video’s it’s alway’s an American organisation that is supposedly faking everything. Never do I see stuff like this about the Russins, Chinese or Europeans. Am I missing something? Because to me it seems very unlikely the US would have the power to supress every other county to make sure they don’t leak out thier secrets. Feel free to correct me...

Spencer Jarvis To the people saying that in 1969 we didnt go through the belts, we avoided them, went around them... ok, so why are we going through them on this orion mission? why are we not avoiding them again?

Frank M They should just use 50 year old tech from the 60's. There problem solved.

Matt x What I don't get it how they justify having to do tests to get through the belts, when they supposedly already have many years ago now.

Mike Rusby someone called alan went to the moon in a van? or did I read it wrong:) G Heald

Answer the question. How did the Apollo astronauts survive these belts with no affect on their rudimentary computer if you now have to figure out how to get through them?

Godspeed Neil Armstrong - we're gonna be televising the ENTIRE THING. Better not DIE up there. Nah...never happened. Hollywood production, fantastic piece of film history. Kubrick's uncredited finest work.

KMURPH311 You numb nuts who think it didn’t happen in the sixties/seventies need to do yourselves a favor and quit commenting. Today’s technology is far more susceptible to radiation/emp/ etc. than the vacuum tubes and hydraulics used back then. Computers as we know them today were a thing of fantasy when Apollo launched.

It is a completely different ball game today. And the shielding isn’t as complicated. This video is created to make this interesting to the general public. And “fear” sells. “Watch what happens” sells

You all probably think the earth is flat as well.

Go eat your tide pods

Barry Mayson

The computers that sent men to the moon you can now get onto a fly's balls. The radiation affects from long distances and also the radiation belts can kill a modern computer fastest than EMP. The shielding test I suspect are for the electronics but the one of the best shielding is plain water. I watched the moon landings live and do you think at the height of the cold war Russia was not monitoring every thing and would have not have accused the landings as false!!! The technology to fake them was just not available. The moon is nothing it has some resources but the economics to get them would be stupid.

No reason to spend billions to build a base! The main point of the race to the moon was political it was to beat Russia as they had the first satellite then the first man in space the US wanted something to wave about!

The Last Kingdom Hm..... so they can safely pass the van allen belt back in 60s twice, once going up and once going down with no concern of its danger, now were like... this stuff is dangerous one going up and once going down.

Oksanna Zoschenko Is it just me or did anyone else notice how Orion looks similar to the old Soviet rockets?

Jam Rock So China went to moon and back recently but the USA somehow forget how to return. Well simply because they never went to the moon before....🤔

J Rizz Scientific theory is theory. Therefore, a theory is a theory and theories are derived by attempts to make a certain phenomena truth. Theory is not fact and they are always being debunked by another theory. Since science is based on theory, it’s their way of placing the “did you read the fine print before signing?” To cover their behinds. Now Pluto isn’t considered a planet anymore??? When in grade school 25 yrs ago they taught kids it was. Challenge yourself and all that you hear, just don’t speak on it until you have hard objective proof.

Meanwhile I’m off to watch Elon Dunse and his Tesla fly around in outer space, I hear they are Flyving to Mars. How cool is that? GROUND BREAKING!!!!!! Great Scott!!!!

Roy Mackey He says at 3:35 that "we must solve the challenges of the Van Allen belts before we can send people through this region..."

Wait a minute.... I thought we already did!!! : ) If he keeps making mistakes like this he could end up shooting himself in the back of the head. At least if you believe the stories about others who have made mistakes like this in the past and put themselves on the sucide list.

MrThehbus All except maybe 1 of the Apollo astronauts lived to old age. When they supposedly made journeys through the Radiation Belt, and didn’t die. Now in 2017 NASA is trying to figure out a safe way to go through it again? I have an idea use the same shield you used during Apollo that should work. People will believe nonsense simply because “authority” tells them to.

Axelito Deejay I thought they solved these challenges back in 1969? Thats some bullshit! Like Chuck D once said... Can't Trust it!!!

So your source is the COMMENTS section on a video of a NASA engineer that a flat earther renamed to "NASA Engineer Admits They Can't Get Past Van Allen Belts". And in this video the engineer is talking about the Orion program and HOW they're goal is to send a man to Mars.

Ummmm...he NEVER SAID they can't get past he Van Allen belt. THAT'S a MISLEADING statement BY a critic of NASA.

NASA never said it or admitted it. It's fantasy by lying flat earthers who can't win an argument any other way.

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. So lets explore one of your Little Knowledge areas.

The Van Allen Belts are donut shaped and not homogeneous. The Belts are only a problem while the crews are in them. They don’t stay in them, they travel through them.

Unmanned probes mapped out the Belts and allowed NASA to design routes that took Apollo crews through sparser regions where their total radiation exposure was less than what is normal for chest x-rays. Dose counters for the crews averaged 0.38 rads.

So while the conspiracy prone love to gobble up ideas like the Van Allen Belts wrecking the spaceship electronics or giving the astronauts lethal doses of radiation it’s just one more example of their fondness for special pleading and partial facts.
