Maybe you should look at what Dr. James Van Allen has said about the belts. You know, the same guy who discovered and studied the belts that even bear his name?
"The radiation belts of the Earth do, indeed, pose important constraints on the safety of human space flight.
The very energetic (tens to hundreds of MeV) protons in the inner radiation belt are the most dangerous and most difficult to shield against. Specifically, prolonged flights (i.e., ones of many months’ duration) of humans or other animals in orbits about the Earth must be conducted at altitudes less than about 250 miles in order to avoid significant radiation exposure.
A person in the cabin of a space shuttle in a circular equatorial orbit in the most intense region of the inner radiation belt, at an altitude of about 1000 miles, would be subjected to a fatal dosage of radiation in about one week.
However, the outbound and inbound trajectories of the Apollo spacecraft cut through the outer portions of the inner belt and because of their high speed spent only about 15 minutes in traversing the region and less than 2 hours in traversing the much less penetrating radiation in the outer radiation belt. The resulting radiation exposure for the round trip was less than 1% of a fatal dosage – a very minor risk among the far greater other risks of such flights. I made such estimates in the early 1960s and so informed NASA engineers who were planning the Apollo flights. These estimates are still reliable.
The recent Fox TV show, which I saw, is an ingenious and entertaining assemblage of nonsense. The claim that radiation exposure during the Apollo missions would have been fatal to the astronauts is only one example of such nonsense."
James A. Van Allen

@chrismanning9336 Anyway, here is a partial list of some of the best photos of the earth from space. Not CGI, Photoshopped, or composite. All shot on celluloid film.
AS17-148-22725 to 22751, that's 26 photos.
AS08-14-2383 to 2394, that's 12 photos.
AS08-15-2535 to 2580, that's 46 photos.
AS08-16-2588 to 2609, that's 22 photos.
AS11-44-6668 to AS11-44-6696, that's 29 photos.
AS11-36-5293 to 5309, that's 17 photos.
AS11-36-5317 to 5381, that's 65 photos.

When you take pictures, how often do you include the sun? Most people taking pictures want to avoid the sun, to avoid lens flare. You obviously haven't looked the thousands of photos available online, with the ones that show lens flare. The sun is 93 million miles away, and you want to talk about the moon being 230,000 miles closer?
No there aren't huge canyons on the moon. Try looking at the footage with the rover, Apollo 15, 16, 17, that show mountains thousands of feet high. You knew that there were six other missions to the moon, right?

@kaone3151 "I don’t buy NASA lost the technology"
Good, because no technology was lost. After six moon landings, they figured that with the enormous cost and effort required, they would try other things for awhile, and they did. Going through the Van Allen belts has been explained over and over. They went very quickly through the thinnest parts, to limit exposure, simple as that. If you can't find real photos of earth, you must not be looking very hard.
