OT. Where they really on the moon?

[minipol]

Today i saw a documentary about the first men on the moon. Apparently America wasn't ready yet to send pictures from the moon to home so they hired Kubrick to make a movie that showed the astronauts on the moon. Afterwards the CIA killed all people involved except Kubrick.

Now, the documentary didn't answer all the questions. Where they really on the moon?
I think so but they didn't have the capability to send live images home. So all people who watched the "live" landing on the moon where watching a movie

Also, Nixon had already taped a speech for when the astronauts would die. Pretty lame.
I'm not sure on how accurate the documentary was.

Any insights/comments?

Did this happen to be on FOX?

That particular show has been shot down so many times, in so many different ways its not even funny.

No, it was a French documentary shown on Belgian television. And the errors they showed in the movie from the moon where so enormous and rediculous it's hard not to believe it.

I've heard all kinds of never-went-there arguments, and most of them can be discreditted except for one:

How did the astronauts survive outside the Van Allen belt? The Van Allen belt is an electromagnetic layer around the Earth that soaks up or deflects most of the harmful radiation from the Sun and makes life on Earth possible.

The moonshot spacecraft and/or spacesuits would not have offered any protection at all from that radiation- Neil Armstrong & co should have been turned to crispy bacon before they got anywhere near the moon...

The space suits and the space craft are just not strong enough to fight off the radiation either on the Moon itself or through the Van Allen radiation belt. (They went through the Van Allen belt in an hour, this was not enough time to be affected by the radiation. The astronauts were affected by radiation, they just were not made ill by it as the doses were small.)

China is planning to send people to Moon in five years. Then we will know

Is't it ironic - it is entirely possible that soon China will be the only nation who send manned space expeditions ? (shuttles are ground, russian space program has no money)
