Conspiracy Time!!! In today's conspiracy talk, we're going to take a look at the Apollo missions and see if man landed on the moon or was it all a big hoax?
First lets start with the official story.
We've all seen the video...
But some people still claim that we never went to the moon, because it was technically impossible. Let's see what they're talking about. I decided to look into it, and came up with a few startling facts.
First there is the Van Allen Radiation Belts...
There are several radiation belts that surround our Earth that astronauts would have to fly threw, twice, to go to the moon and back. The amount of radiation in these bands would kill humans quickly.
Second is the distance.
The moon is over 230,000 miles away. All recent space missions stayed within 400 miles of Earth. The mission took days to get to the moon, and somehow they were able to make a phone call and send live pictures back to Earth. Incredible amount of battery power... why can't Tesla use those batteries in their cars?
Watch this video with the live call to president Nixon.
The third thing is the most confusing... Life after NASA for the astronauts.
The astronauts that first landed on the moon held a press conference where they look like they are talking about a mutual friend that just died. They don't look like the national heroes the media was making them out to be.
This is the strangest thing to me. Look how they respond to questions after just landing on moon.
They do not look like they want to be there, and Neil Armstrong is incredibly careful with his words. Neil was a huge celebrity, but did almost no interviews after his time at NASA. I find that very interesting.
Another thing I think is interesting is the fact that all the missions happened under one president in the span of 3 years. Nixon was the president for all of the moon landings. I find that very shady. You know Nixon right... this guy...
But if we went to the moon, where is all the data to show us how to do it again?
Well, the data is missing and NASA admits it. Watch this...
Summary:
This is a tough one... there is no real explanation on how the Apollo missions got through the Van Allen radiation belts, the almost ashamed looking astronauts at the press conference and NASA doesn't even have the data evidence anymore. It is something that we have not been able to repeat. It will be 50 years next year and we still can't repeat what was done without modern technology and computers.
I don't know... could the government fake something like this? I mean, all those people at NASA were just building one aspect of the ship or watching one screen, so most people that worked there wouldn't even know.
I'm no expert and I can't say we did or didn't, but I have some doubts. I admit that. It also brings me to this final question...
Would fooling the world we landed on the moon be a greater achievement than actually landing on the moon?
