10 Reasons Why People Think the Moon Landing Was Fake

6. The Van Allen Radiation belt

The Van Allen radiation belt is a layer of energetic charged particles that surrounds the Earth with the help of the planet’s magnetic field. There are multiple belts around Earth and their discovery has been credited to James Van Allen. The radiation in these belts is deadly to human beings, which is why many consider that going to the Moon or even leaving the Earth towards an outer planet is impossible.

NASA has said time and time again that the shuttles were treated specially to protect those inside. According to data provided following the flight, Armstrong, Aldrin and Colins received only about 0.1% of the deadly radiation dose, which means NASA did its job quite well in insulating the shuttle.
