I assume 9-11 was done by Islamic hijackers.
I assume the earth is round.
I assume we went to the moon.
If they came out and said 9-11 was an inside job ordered by the cia using someday a wholly owned subsidiary of the deep state i would not be surprised.
If they came out and said the earth is flat and under the firmament I would not be surprised.
If they came out and said the moon landing was faked I would not be surprised.

I would like to know how they got through the van Allen radiation belt.

We didn’t. Van Allen’s calculations showed the belts’ radiation levels were approximately the same as ground zero of a nuclear blast. However, When you film the moon landings in a studio, no radiation, no miscalculation, no dead spacemen, no risk, and everything works fine.

(1) at high latitude, through the least intense parts (2) quickly.

So many people view that as some impenetrable wall; but, it just isn't. First, the Van Allen belts fit the planet as a torrid, a doughnut if you please. Second, the intensity of those things were mapped by Earth satellites long before Apollo flew. Third, harm from radiation results from the combined affect of intensity, time exposure, and shielding.

Knowing all of this in advance, they designed a spacecraft of 3/8" thick aircraft aluminum with a 1/8" ceramic overlay. (Shielding) Apollo was launched at 75 degrees relative to the equator so as to exit the Earth vicinity via the doughnut hole, then turn toward the moon to pass only through the weak outer fringes of the belts. (Intensity) They passed through that fringe in about 20 minutes, I seem to recall. (Time Exposure).

Being forewarned did allow for appropriate preparations and planning. It seems most people think the Van Allen Belts were some kind of surprise.
