[quote="FLAT STANLEY"]Great question. It can't be done yet according to some NASA boffins. Yet all the manned Apollo missions pi55ed through it. Apparently Eyeroll.. [/quote

How do the Van Allen belts exist if the earth is flat?

And how does Mr Allen know they exist if he hasnt been there?

The Sun is not a relatively small light source, though. It is almost 1.4million km in diameter) compared to the Moon's tiny 3,476 km.

Due to the large distance between Sun and Moon, it is close enough for basic purposes to assume that the incoming light rays are parallel, although obviously the "speedlite" of the distant Sun is still actually far bigger than the object Moon, so even at sun-moon distance the rays from the "top" and "bottom" of the light source (the real Sun) are actually still slightly converging. Not a "small" light source.

So your basic premise is false, because you don't understand simple geometry. Your "experiment" confuses actual size with apparent size.

they dont look too depressed or upset of either of these.

@Starbug.
Do your own research. And you'll easily find out.

I have, no reference to a flat planet, so you havent an argument,

WRONG !!! you do know that in a full body CAT scan or any CAT scan for that matter the actual scanning is over and done in a couple of minuets max the rest of the time is spent checking and rechecking the images to make sure they are of the correct quality exposing you to minimum radiation.
Yet NASA claims it takes around 1 1/2 hours to pass through the belts each way that is 3 hours of high intensity radiation with no side effects to ANY astronaut that ever supposedly went on an Apollo mission.
OK

Nope, RIGHT !!! The cumulative dose was what it was. The total dose = level of radiation x time of exposure. Just like sunbathing, taking images, or grilling a pork chop.

Already gave the simple answer to that one, Stan. Do keep up. Now, what do you say about all them pesky satellites that you can see with your own eyes?

Hello again butcher alias. Please stop trying to derail the thread. Thanks.

Stan? Satellites? Cat got yer tongue?

Aslo on the subject of the images of the astronauts in the decontamination pod they do look happy to be back in those photos, so would i if i had been orbiting the earth for 3 days knowing i could die on reentry in the early days of space, still pretty dangerous now even with all the knowledge they now posses on the subject.
It is at the presser that i think it is obvious they never went to the moon with all the figiting twiddling of fingers and just looking very unconformable under the pressure of the world media.
I mean if you had been to the moon and came back alive surely you would be ecstatic and dying to tell of everything you saw and your experience but to me they seemed very muted and not really forthcoming with their answers.
