OT. Where they really on the moon?

[dogscoff]

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...
