He never said they ‘cannot get past the Van Allen Belts’, that I heard.

Back in the Apollo days, radiation was not the Big Deal that it has become since. Guys were tough and just did it. They were men and knew they were - unlike today’s pencil necked soy boys, snowflakes, wusses, and general layabouts, always needing assurances that everything is safe before they lift a finger.

Long before the Apollo, the Russians processed plutonium by hand. The workers were issued paper suits and brooms to clean out the slush tubes, as I recall. Some workers died, but most did not. The survivors were very proud of the work they did for the Motherland and would do it again.

And of those that died, there were other causes like lack of medical support, food, sanitation - the usual for gulag workers. There was a long article about this and was quite moving, but that was 15- 20 years ago and likely no longer on the internet, like the one where the Russians admitted wiping out most whales as part of one of their 5 year Plans.

What he said was that the technical problem had not been solved.

I think you know what that means....

“...unless, of course, we hold the Senate.”

Yeah, let’s rely on the GOPee to stop the insanity. That’ll fix it, alright.

They should have used the Chinese parts. (or maybe they did) *-}

Yes, it means that today’s wimps, that attempt to pass for men, have not been able to assure themselves of 100% guaranteed safe passage through the Belts. OSHA will probably have to sign off on whatever they do, if they do, which, given these wimps, they won’t do.

Best to spend the money upgrading the walls around the HarrisBiden work camps

My main link of post #2 has a _lot_ of data in it.

It would be a significant investment of your time to go through it all, but you may want to bookmark it for future reading.

Fraud is not something invented by the Biden campaign—it has been with us a long time.

Yeah, I read it and its long ago - been debunked many times. I don’t remember the particulars anymore because it was back in the 80s. But that it was a hoax started on the fist day of the first moon mission at mission control almost half a century ago.

I don’t know were to find all this stuff, but you can look through NASA’s online files and records for your self; failing that, you can request files, photos, and data directly from NASA.

Also, there are photos taken relatively recently by various lunar satellites that show the landing sites and left behind equipment. Also, there are amateur astronomers who have taken shot of those sites as well - modern equipment can filter out most or all of the atmosphere effects.

And a gazillion people have gone over all the real data and all the tapes and physics and and etc - found no hoax. Apollo happened as recorded by very brave men; I lived through it as did millions of others -

You are free to believe that load, if it makes you feel better or whatever.

The site I gave you is not a bunch of Internet kooks—it is scientists, engineers, and other professionals from all over the world.

They dissect every piece of the claims you cited—and take them apart piece by piece.

Many of the articles contain new data from the last few years—I promise you, this is the real deal.

The truth matters—because we are sending real human beings to the moon, Mars and beyond, and they must solve every real technical problem that has _not_ been solved to date.

There are _reasons_ why we have not created human settlements on the Moon and Mars—even though back in the sixties most “experts” said we would have it done by now.

It appears that they forgot to seal the top of the capsule... also to replace that aluminum foil over the port. :)

Sure, you betcha...

Guy, there are PHOTOGRAPHS taken from the EARTH of the sites. There are hundreds of people that have debunked all those old theories that these kooks dredged up for click bait.

Armstrong and all those guys that walked and orbited the moon are liars, right? You really need to get a grip here.

It’s really hard to build these spacecraft, that’s why it takes so long.

> The cone-shaped capsule is designed to launch on top of a future rocket called the Space Launch System, or SLS, a vehicle that NASA has been building for the last decade.

Meanwhile, SpaceX just sent its second group to the ISS, and the company has only existed since 2002.
