Changing your home might not be as simple as jumping from one rock to another in space. Life processes could be dependent on other factors that we haven't figured out yet. We may be part of this planet in a way that we cannot change.

Well I cannot speak about the conspiracy part of this issue. But I can speak about the medical/physiological part. And I can assure you (P less than 0.01%) that weak constant/changing EM fields have NO impact whatsoever on human life/physiological processes. All the research was done by the WHO, and a great number of leading world heath institutions and for the time being this is the accepted fact.

Think of it this way: the earth magnetic field is something like 10^-4 Tesla, right? Well I´m not sure but our cell phones give out a GREAT deal more than that... and if you think that the distance from that 10^-4 T can harm you I´m sure the cell phones would screw us up completely by now... heck just having someone bring a magnet to your head and wave it around would would prolly have you confined to a mental institution if weak EM fields would have any impact on the human mind.

I dare not think what a MRI would do to you

In conclusion:
The Earth´s magnetic field (or the absence of it) did not affect the state of mind of those Lunar astronauts (if there even were any affects we can speak of). If there are the reason has to be something else.
