Why The Moon Landing Couldn't Have Been Faked

[Vmedvil2]

This is a Video about how the moon landing couldn't have been faked and how it would have been cheaper to send a man to the moon then fake the moon landing.

Many think radiation from the Van Allen belts make travelling to the Moon impossible and the Moon landings were faked, but here is evidence to the contrary:

The Apollo missions marked the first event where humans travelled through the Van Allen belts, which was one of several radiation hazards known by mission planners. The astronauts had low exposure in the Van Allen belts due to the short period of time spent flying through them. Apollo flight trajectories bypassed the inner belts completely to send spacecraft through only the thinner areas of the outer belts.

Astronauts' overall exposure was actually dominated by solar particles once outside Earth's magnetic field. The total radiation received by the astronauts varied from mission to mission but was measured to be between 0.16 and 1.14 rads (1.6 and 11.4 mGy), much less than the standard of 5 rem (50 mSv) per year set by the United States Atomic Energy Commission for people who work with radioactivity.

The film used on the Moon in the Hasselblad cameras had not been fogged by the radiation of the Van Allen belts, an indicator of the relatively low radiation dose received from the belts, (travelling at a high speed of about 25,000 mph through the belts also helped keep time of radiation  exposure low).

The Russian tortoises sent around the Moon in 1968 are a good example other than the Apollo missions of how life can survive the Van Allen belts:

The first two tortoises in space were launched on Zond 5 on 14 September 1968 by the Soviet Union. The Horsfield's tortoises were sent on a circumlunar voyage along with wine flies, meal worms, and other biological specimens. These were the first animals in deep space and the first inhabitants of earth to travel around the moon. The capsule overshot its terrestrial landing site but was successfully recovered at sea on 21 September. The animals survived but suffered some weight loss.

Luna 2 (launched 1959) carried 5 different instruments to conduct various tests while it was on its way to the Moon. The scintillation counters would be used to measure any ionizing radiation; the Cherenkov radiation detectors would be measuring for electromagnetic radiation caused by charged particles. “The Geiger Counter carried on Luna 2 had the primary scientific objective of determining the electron spectrum of the outer radiation belt.

 Because of claims that information received from Luna 1 (1959) was fake, as soon as the scientists of Luna 2 starting receiving transmissions they sent out the intended time of impact, and the transmission and trajectory details.^[12] Even though Soviet scientists gave all this information Americans were still sceptical until Bernard Lovell was able to prove that the radio signal was coming from Luna 2 by showing the Doppler shift from its transmissions. After this no one seemed to question the validity of the Soviets.

The Soviet Union swapped a gram of the mission sample for a lunar sample from NASA in December 1976. Luna 24 was the last lunar spacecraft to be launched by the Soviet Union. It was also the last spacecraft to make a soft landing on the Moon until the landing of Chang'e 3 on December 14, 2013, 37 years later.

I have a problem with the argument that stage-lit Moonscape photos are readily identified due to non –parallel shadows when compared with Sunlit Moonscape photos which have parallel shadows.

Look how difficult it is to pick any parallel lines on the Sun-lit garden photos and even on the Sunlit C Moon -rock Apollo picture. Uneven/sloping surfaces, angled/sloping edges all make the task far from easy.

I have no doubt Man has been to the Moon; but my point is I’m not sure it is as easy to tell fake pictures using parallel shadow lines as the 'Adam Ruins' video implies.

I enumerated all these arguments to people who believe in this conspiracy, but they remained of the same mind, unfortunately. These arguments seem to be very, very convincing, so I don't understand what else can make them forget about conspirology. Perhaps they need to meen Stanley Kubrik and go to the moon together.
