Van Allen belts contain high-energy, charged subatomic (electrons and protons) particles emitted by solar flares and carried by solar wind. If the Earth?s magnetic field had not trapped these subatomic particles and held them in the form of thick belts or rigs away from the Earth their radiation measuring 3,00,000 electron volt would have charred all the living beings to death. The astronauts going to the Moon have to go through these belts and the journey through these belts would have been fatal for them. Conclusion: Manned Moon missions have not taken place.

Rrrrright. So those guys cleaning up the chernobyl reactor after its explosion are a myth, too?
PS: Some of them still live today.
The bigger problem is all the man-made crap that is floating around up there.
But I do believe that we never went to the moon.
Why would it have been possible to go there in record time when we now - 50 years later - cannot accomplish to go there?
