Radiation would kill the Apollo astronauts.
Many conspiracists believe that NASA never left the Earth’s atmosphere, because of the amount of radiation in The Van Allen radiation belt would kill an astronaut. But with help from other sources (thanks clavius moon base) We can determine if this is true. The American legal radiation limit below are a helpful.
If a worker must deal with radioactive materials in the course of his job, his legal limit is higher: 5 rem (50 millisieverts, mSv) per year. If a worker is in the vicinity of radioactive materials but does not work with them, the limit is 0.1 rem (1 mSv). For persons younger than 18 and pregnant women, the occupational exposure is 0.5 (5 mSv) per year. These are measurements above the natural background radiation limits, and are measured by dosimeters and other equipment in the area where the exposure takes place. (Standards for Protection Against Radiation. 10 CFR § 20.)
People usually get about 0.24 rem (2.4 mSv) in background radiation per year. (Jawororwski, Zbigniew. “Radiation Risks in the 20th Century: Reality, Illusions, and Risks” Presented 17 Sept. 1998 at the International Curie Conference, Warsaw, Poland.)
The standard for a lethal dose is designated LD 50/30, defined as the short-term exposure (i.e. over a period of a few hours or less) which would kill 50% of the humans exposed within 30 days. It’s around 350-400 rems (3.5-4.0 Sv). (Radiation Safety Office. Radiation Safety Handbook. Columbia University, s.d.)
As shown above the legal limit is 700 times less than a harmful dose. The reason for this strictness is that there is no such thing as ’safe’ radiation, it’s just the body heals the DNA damage etc… more efficiently if less damage is sustained.
By looking at other sources and the official NASA info, the amount of radiation that the astronauts were subjected to, was 2 rems, for each time the astronaut went into space. See The Van Allen Belts and Travel to the Moon and radiation and the van allen belts for two of many sources I used.

I’ve gotta say, at what point has a “Government” ever been honest with you? If the government says “look left”, please, look right.

These are the newest statistics given by mostly independent sources. Nothing to do with the government.

Many cities are currently debating whether to install cameras at traffic lights to cut down on drivers who run red lights. They don’t require an o-site operator. Similarly, security cameras have been around for almost half a century. It’s no mystery, then, that Neil Armstrong’s first step on the Moon was recorded by something similar to a security camera attached to the lunar lander.
Don’t you guys ever think things through all the way?

Well let me see there Terry, They thought of cameras everywhere, on their suits, on the lander, hell a ’security camera” as you say attached to the lander or even a mount a few meters from the lander to take all these crystal clear pristine shots, which by the way were by cameras with no viewfinders, no light meteres, everything perfectly allighned and pristine YET THEY HAD NO DIRECT LINK TO SHOW ANY OF THESE WONDERFUL SHOTS FROM ALL THESE CAMERAS, BUT INSTEAD FILMED A TELEVISION TO SHOW ALL OF US???. Stop smoking the crack pipe Terry, its destroying your ability to reason!!!.

Don’t you guys ever think things through all the way?” So security camera’s can move up and down and actually keep an image in the frame can they? UMMM sorry I think you did not think what you said through.

Apollo Moon Landing Hoax – Scientific Evidence
Guys guys guys, forget the stupid camera, just think about apollo landing, how could it land on the moon like a feather, today after 40 years, with all new technology and computer, no astronaut lands on the earth like that, that’s right it’s the moon and the G is much less compared to earth but it’s not zero. A ship weighing a few tons would still be a few tons on moon too and could crash to pieces if hit the moon with speed more than 10 miles an hour. We dont have this technology even today, they drop the cockpit in the ocean with a parachute. Now lets say we close our eyes and say Apollo landed gracefully on the moon. Now after partying on the moon, how the hell did they take off? there is no platform, no launching site, no control center!!!! We dont have such thing even today that a space craft could take off all by itself from a middle of dessert like a bird….

The Apollo landers didn’t crash into the moon for the same reason that airplanes don’t crash onto runways upon landing; the pilots slow them down! The airline pilots balance the engine thrust and airspeed, bringing the plane down to a gentle landing. They don’t slam into the runway at 600mph! Similarly, boat captains don’t plow into the docks in port. They use the propeller speed and the drag from the water to slow it down. The Apollo astronauts used the LEM’s engine to counter-act the moon’s gravity(1/6th Earths gravity) to settle gently to the moons surface. As for lifting off the moon, they didn’t need a launch site. Launched from Earth, a rocket has to overcome Earths’ gravity and plow through the atmosphere into space. It’s lifting itself PLUS the command and the lander! All the lander has to do is lift itself from the moon. With NO atmospheric drag. And no landing-pad base. They leave that behind, making the craft even lighter. I have a sneaking suspicion that men smarter than us worked all this ahead of time. But that’s just me.
By the way, a helicopter can take off from the middle of the desert(One ’s’)…

You guys. ugh why can’t you just believe it. I think it really happened. Plus every minute of it was captured on film. Even from the lift off. You are way over thinking it. P.s. please don’t be mean to me. I just turned 14 today. I’m still a youngster. =-)

hey smart guy, try to answer why we can receive signal from the mirror on the moon?
http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2004/images/llr/A11_LRRRfull.gif
oh! we did not land on the moon but hey!
who put the lunar laser ranging retro reflector on the moon?
well… the Apollo 11 folk…! wasn’t it?
don’t try to skip the fact, and try to proof your conspiracy hoax.

Reflectors on moon.From unmanned probes sent to calculate distance.I dont know enough to say man did not land on moon.But i know for FACT that probes where sent many times before 1969.

Was american technology advaced enough 40 years to land on Moon after repeated failure of launching merely for space? USA was not able to carry out successful launches and send rockets? to space at that time rather than landing on Moon! NASA made world countries believe that americans are just liers,frauds and scams.the whole drama was a hoax-conspiracy theory.NASA was effected and runn by American politician rather than Scientists.

You can reflect a laser off the moon’s surface.
No reflector required.

How did the lunar module take off from the moon and find the exact orbit to re unite with the mothership? There was no computer navigation, the astronauts had no vision (no windows) . They only had manual joysticks. That would have been an impossibility in 1969.
Let’s see the disinfo crew answer that one???????

Aha, the moon landing must be fake as in the backround you could see a flag blowing in the wind,But! as there is no air in space then the flag would not
have been blowing in the wind

Niel Armstrong stated that they were lucky to reach the moon because they nearly run out of fuel, they only had thirty seconds of fuel left. If that is the case can Niel please tell me where they got the fuel from to return to the earth. I suppose some will say the Americans discovered an oil field up there,
