The best response to the radiation issue that I can think of doesn’t require any knowledge of radiation to understand. It just requires people to think logically.
NASA can’t control the radiation. They can’t make the radiation weaker, or stronger. They can’t make it go away. They also can’t control every person who might discover the radiation for the rest of time. This means they can not successfully lie about it because if they did they would eventually get caught. It’s 100% certain to be discovered by someone at some point.
It would be like if I were to tell you it was raining when it was really a sunny day. How long would it take you to discover I was lying? You’d only have to look out the window. So why would I lie about it if I knew I’d get caught? It would make no sense. Right?
So NASA can’t control the radiation, they can’t hide the radiation, they can’t stop the Russians from discovering the radiation… that means they can’t lie about it. If they did the Russians would discover they were lying pretty quickly and that would be the end of the hoax.
Wouldn’t it be more embarrassing if it was discovered that the United States faked the Moon landings than if they had just admitted that going to the Moon was impossible?
NASA discovered the Van Allen radiation belt in 1957… four years before Kennedy announced the goal of going to the Moon. If they had known going to the Moon would be impossible in 1957 why would Kennedy announce such a goal in 1961? Why even put the idea into the public’s head if there was no intention of going?
This is why the whole hoax theory fails. It does not make sense logically. It is full of holes and contradictions.
Hoax Believer (HB): “We had to fake the Moon landings to fool the Russians.”
Logic: “But the Russians would have discovered the radiation and realized NASA was lying.”
HB: “Okay, then the Russians must have been in on it.”
Logic: “Then what was the point of faking it???”
HB: “To fool the public and meet Kennedy’s goal.”
Logic: “But if NASA knew about the radiation before Kennedy made the speech then he wouldn’t have made it in the first place.”
The hoax theory is so flawed that I don’t understand why anyone believes it.

Apollo Moon Landing Hoax – Photographic Evidence
My main concern is that if they really did land on the moon in 1969, then why was there not a single attempt to repeat the feat
Ummm… NASA landed men on the Moon five more times after Apollo 11.
Don’t we …
Apollo Moon Landing Hoax – Scientific Evidence
For me it is that easy to say that the moon landings never happened.
Then you’re a gullible fool who hasn’t bothered to learn anything about Apollo.
And in a sense they never did because I wasn’t born yet when they occurred.
What …
Apollo Moon Landing Hoax – Scientific Evidence
I did not verify any of the “facts” stated here
Maybe you should. You’d look less like a fool if you didn’t constantly cite unverified claims.
Even if most of the alleged US Moon rocks are real, the Russians were able to …

That is why no one takes you HBs seriously. You can’t get your stories straight. We see HBs saying robotic probes put the laser reflectors on the Moon… and then other HBs who say the lasers were simply reflected off …
Apollo Moon Landing Hoax – Scientific Evidence
You can reflect a laser off the moon’s surface.
No reflector required.
True, but a lot more of the laser’s light is reflected when a reflector is used. The reflectors reflect all light back in the direction it came from. Light reflected …
