  45.  @tfbama68  Just because you saw it on the internet doesn't make it true. I laugh my ass off every time I see a conspiracy theorist talk about the Van Allen Belts like it is some sort of smoking gun. Conspiracy theories only exist because people are ignorant of basic science. The Van Allen Belts are comprised of charged particle radiation, a TYPE of radiation that is not particularly harmful to humans. An Astronaut would have to spend about 6 months in the Van Allen Belts in order to receive a lethal dose. Astronauts from the Apollo program wore dosimeters on their trip to the moon to measure their radiation exposure. They received about the same dose people who work at a Nuclear Power plant receive in a year. About the same as three X-rays. Ignorant conspiracy theorists never bother to educate themselves on the Van Allen belts so this conspiracy theory continues to this day. I will also point out that the radiation problem NASA was talking about was the effect of charged particle radiation on modern silicon computer chips. They can be destroyed very quickly by charged particle radiation so they have to find ways to shield them. They can't shield them with lead because when charged particle radiation strikes lead it gives off higher EM band radiation like Gamma and X-Rays which would be deadly to the astronauts. NASA did not destroy the technology to go back to the moon. First all the technology came from PRIVATE companies not NASA. Boeing, North American, and McDonald Douglas were the prime contractors. Technology when not used is often not preserved, a good example would be Battleships. Did you know we could not build one today? We do not know how class A armor plate was actually made. We do not have the industry to make the gun barrels anymore. We would literally have to research and rebuild all the technology required to build a modern battleship before we would build one. Technology being lost is a common almost daily thing.
