Buzz Aldrin admits moon landing scam

@divegeester said
So your a moon landing denier becuase you don’t believe that in reality the astronauts could survive exposure to radiation in space.

You are then, despite your pretence otherwise, a moon landing denier, which is why you avoided answering my question 5 times.

Why don't YOU tell me how that retroreflector got on the moon pointed in a direction that happens to allow laser beams from Earth to count a few photons back and get the distance to the moon within centimeters or inches if you prefer?
Do you deny it exists or some such?
Why do we know the distance to the moon within inches AND now can measure very well how ...[text shortened]... om Earth to totally hide the sun.
We could not have made such discoveries without those reflectors.

The level of radiation exposure has been addressed and explained many times in great detail.

No it has not. This is the first time you posted that link on this thread.
Explain why traveling to MARS can be bad for people's health but traveling to the moon is not.

@JJ-Adams
Your link did not explain much.
Explain why traveling to MARS can be bad for people's health but traveling to the moon is not. Here is an excerpt from the link below:

"Researchers at Georgetown University Medical Center (GUMC) in Washington, DC have been studying how ionizing radiation may affect the gastrointestinal (GI) tract in humans to better prepare astronauts to make long-duration trips across the solar system.

On such missions, astronauts will be exposed to radiation from a number of different sources and, currently, there are no effective methods of blocking that radiation out."

It says "currently, there are no effective methods of blocking that radiation out."
So did the people that traveled to the moon just get lucky and people going to Mars would have a long trip and not be so lucky? Please explain.

Because travelling to Mars takes many months and over a year's exposure with the return trip versus a few days to the moon.
Easy-peezy.

Is that a guess?
What is your source of information?

This is not a trivial question. If a colony on the moon is going to give people gut cancer because they were there too long we need to know. Are people just going to be there for short trips to do robot maintenance to avoid getting gut cancer? On top of that, I thought most of the radiation would be from solar radia ...[text shortened]... ays by digging far enough under the surface of the moon for a colony? If so, how far down is enough?

@jj-adams said
I'm sick of you asking questions and expecting everyone to google the answers for you.
Just do it yourself for eff sake.

@metal-brain said
No. I said I don't know just like you did.
So you are a NASA film denier then?
How many times did you avoid answering that question?

@divegeester said
Lol.

Denier of what film? Where is it?. Show me it?

The moon landings happened and as I’ve said all through this thread you’re a moon landing denier.

Do you also think the earth might be flat?

@metal-brain said
Are there mirrors on the moon?
Where is it? Show me it.

You believe lots of things you cannot see. You cannot see subatomic particles either. Does that mean you do not believe they exist? Does god exist? Theists and atheists alike believe in things they cannot see, so let's not do this silly back and forth all day long.

Are you also a denier that the earth is round because you cannot see its round?

@Metal-Brain
The radiation levels are not like the workers who had to go into Chernobyl, Like the Van Allen belt, is not a total sphere around Earth, it is a belt which means you can avoid it by just aiming the spacecraft to skirt it. And the radiation on the moon or in space can be a problem for long term visits like ISS but a few hours or a day on the moon is not dangerous.
You overstate the danger.
Even an ISS visit for months shows minimal radiation damage, which is for sure happening but not life threatening.
Maybe 30 years later they get cancer or some such but the come and go for months up there with nothing extreme happening so the same environment is on the moon, same exposure to coronal discharges and such, it could be dangerous if a big one hit while say, there were folks on the moon or in a longer time frame like the present 6 ish months it would take to get to Mars, if a big solar flare hit THAT spacecraft, it could be deadly but that is not too likely given such flares go off in narrow angles, aimed at some point in space. One hit Earth a month ago and screwed up communications for hams on low bands and sats too but most of them miss Earth and so most of them would miss a craft going to Mars. Big deal if it DOES hit however.
