How about the lovely contradiction in that post that says the radiation starts at 1000 miles and astronauts were contaminated at 400 miles... before it even starts?
Sigh.
I did not say that the radiation starts at 100 miles but the VA belt does. Its effects can be felt at 400 miles and even 300 miles above the earth. The space stationle's protection has been penetrated at those heights.
So since NASA is about to admit to the lie... presumably what they say about the radiation belt is either wrong... or about to be changed. Another lie they will have to admit to soon I guess.
"According to a NASA report called Biomedical Results of Apollo , the highest average radiation dose of the Apollo crew members occurred during Apollo 14. It was 1.14 rads, which is equal to 0.0114 Gy (100 rads = 1 Gy). This would be equivalent to roughly 0.02 Sv. That is the average equivalent dose for the whole mission, not just the time spent flying through the Van Allen belts. For comparison, a CT scan of your abdomen imparts an equivalent dose of about 0.01 Sv . This might have very slightly increased the crews’ risk of getting cancer later in life, but that would be nearly impossible to distinguish from the risks of other radiation exposures we all commonly encounter. It was nowhere near enough to kill them or even make them noticeably sick in the short term."
Your referenced site also shoots down the hoax ideas... So once again you are left with the conundrum of having to explain that a site you reference to support your claim (not that it was necessary anyway since you missed the point in the first place) also says things that you disagree with...
tallman51: You asked for a reference about the earth's rotation and I gave it too you.
What people put on their websites has nothing to do with me.
TC
i didn't ask for a reference for the Earth's speed of rotation.
I explained that giving a SPEED of rotation is not sufficient as the speed varies depending on the latitude.
The current issue is that you are asking people to accept a claim on a website that ALSO claims the exact opposite of what you say about the moon landings.
So in effect you are telling people that the site you referenced is CORRECT when you need it to be and INCORRECT when you don't want it to be,
And you have failed to allow us to distinguish WHICH parts of the site are true and which or not.
Abyss31: Oh NOW it's true because you say "the fact remains"
See it's that type of weak "argument" that too many people can fall for.
Unfortunately for you... I've been dealing with arguments and debates (specifically in sciences) for years. And I try not to miss much.
You just keep throwing out statements and claims with no basis to support them.
and unfortunately for you I have been flying aircraft and teaching aviation for nearly 30 years and am privvy to info that I have already said that I cannot just talk about on here.
I am all on for space exploration etc. but not major hoax's. This is a huge subject and one that I would only love to chat to you about. Unfortuneately that is not possible on here.

My name is Thomas M Cronin.
Whether you are or not is irrelevant really.
Argument from authority.
Doesn't mean your claims are legit.
I might as well say the world is going to end soon and that I know this to be true but can't say why on here.

Thank u abyss for the exact figures... I was making educated guesses as to the actual radiation units of exposure. Are we done with the radiation exposure argument yet?
