@dkdurham2607 Hi dkd, hope that you are well. Your comment that "would take about a one foot thick layer of lead for humans to pass through the van allen belt (sic)," is incorrect. These belts do provide a challenge for space exploration but far from an insurmountable one. Here is a quote from James Van Allen himself in 2004. "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." I hope that this clears things up for you. Take care.

@dkdurham2607 Hi again dkd, hope that you are well. Thank you for your reply. You wrote "that clears it up". I am glad that you have acknowledged that your original comment was incorrect. Most of our knowledge of these belts comes from satellite measurements and there are quite literally thousands of research papers on the topic. To learn more you may wish to read "Studying the Van Allen Belts 60 Years After America’s First Spacecraft" on the NASA website and the Wikipedia article titled "Van Allen radiation belt" is also a good place to start. Take care.

@dkdurham2607 Hi again dkd, hope that you are well. You wrote "I know much about the Van Allen belt" and also "never ask Wikipedia or a government agency ..(NASA).. for truth". Since the vast majority of our knowledge of the Van Allen radiation belts actually comes from NASA and its predecessors the Jet Propulsion Lab (JPL) and the Army Ballistic Unit then I suggest that you have somewhat of a cognitive dissonance issue to sort out. Good luck with that. Take care.

@dkdurham2607 No DD, they are just glib statements that you throw out without thought, context or research! Furthermore you seem to be attributing statements to NASA to back up your misinterpretations while at the same time saying that NASA are not a source of truthful information! Furthermore again you are making claims about the Van Allen Belts that have been refuted by the words of Mr James Van Allen himself! Seriously, any bit of critical thinking going on there? Take care.

@dkdurham2607 Hi again DK, hope you are well. It is unfortunate that you did not have the time to actually watch the video that you linked for me otherwise you would have noted that what NASA engineer Kelly Smith actually said in relation to the Van Allen Belts was "Radiation like this could harm the guidance system, onboard computer or other electronics on Orion" and that the navigation and guidance engineers "must solve these challenges" before sending people through this region of space..The Orion spacecraft is not the Apollo spacecraft. The modern electronics and IC's used in Orion are much more sensitive to radiation damage and interference than the electronics used in the Apollo Program. Any failure in Orion's computer or guidance system could have catastrophic consequences for a crewed mission so testing is necessary. All this information is widely known and understood so it is regrettable that you did not come across it in your research. Take care.

@dkdurham2607 Hi again DK, thank you for your latest comment. I think that we have well established that I did watch the entire clip and that you simply wish to cherry pick phrases out of it without establishing the context that they are made in. You also seem to like directing people to videos that also cherry pick comments without explaining or attempting to understand the context in which they were made. I guess that is what makes you a conspiracy theorist. I prefer reality. Take care.

@dkdurham2607 Hi DK, good to hear from you, hope that you are well. Personal incredulity and inability to understand has never been considered as evidence for anything other than themselves. Take care.

@ninjaman1714 Hi nm, hope that you are well. You wrote "pressure will always seek to equalise/ go from high to low.". Atmospheric pressure at ground level = about 1013hPa, atmospheric pressure at top Mount Everest = 330hPa. Does all the air suddenly start rushing upwards from the ground to "equalise" the lower pressure at higher altitude? Perhaps there is something that you haven't considered which is actually containing the atmosphere? Some sort of a force perhaps? Take care.

Why are you all talk yet never produce any evidence to back up your claims? Take care.

@bryanwhite6993 Hi bryan, you wrote. "It’s all done with underground cables.". Is that why satellite dishes point towards the sky? Take care.

@rebelsoul5980 Hi again rs, hope that you are well. Interesting that you mention "he law of physics" so I assume that you must be familiar with Newtons' universal law of gravitation. Water is a fluid and its shape will conform to whatever forces are acting upon it. Up and Down are defined by the local gravitational vector. Take care.

@rebelsoul5980 Hi rs, thank you for your reply. I am delighted, it seems that you have made excellent progress over the years. Now it seems that you understand that gravity exists and are now working on understanding its cause. Take care.
