If you think the Moon landing of 69 was a fake, you'll probably burn...

On earth!

A study of Psychological Science magazine has brought interesting results: even if nearly all climate experts worldwide agree that human CO² emissions are altering the
world's climate, segments of the public remain unconvinced by the scientic evidence.

Thanks to the existence of Blogs and websites denying or questioning climate science, the experts are seen as part of a conspiracy!

The study goes on, showing how conspiracy theorists play a huge role in science rejection.

You can read it here, and it is very interesting:

Some people will refuse to believe anything. Hyper-emotionalism like that makes me want to punch people sometimes.

Well, excerpt from the same article:

The Apollo missions marked the first event where humans traveled through the Van Allen belts, which was one of several radiation hazards known by mission planners. The astronauts had low exposure in the Van Allen belts due to the short period of time spent flying through them in the heavily-shielded Command Module. In fact, the astronauts' overall exposure was dominated by solar particles once outside the earth's magnetic field. The total radiation received by the astronauts varied from mission to mission but was measured to be between 0.16 and 1.14 rads, much less than the standard of five (5) rem per year set by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission for people who work with radioactivity

And you don't die from these levels of radiations in a year, whatsoever.

Not trying to go against you at all Timmy, I've been working in nuclear power plants for some years and have been more afflicted than the Apollo missionaries. That's some of why I know.
Same thing goes with equipments who were brought into radioactive zones, they can be decontaminated in less than a month (let's say a camera for example would be treated and available again to its owner in a week).

I have taken radiation physics amongst other radiation classes so I'm well aware of the effects of radiation.

So what is your post about, I don't get it?

They did let men fly under radiations or they never did it cause NASA has too much respect for humans?

I'm just raising eyebrows. We see the effects of the sun laying out on a beach all day. 200,000 miles closer to it make me wonder what those effects are.

I don't think it would change that much the effects, it's like measuring the temperature of a place at point zero placed at 100 miles of a heat source and the temperature changes at a point "P" placed at 99.8 miless from the same source.

I'm not sure about comparing the effects of heat to those of sun radiations, but I doubt that would make such a difference?

We measure the distance between the earth and the moon by bouncing a laser of mirrors on the moon.


So if the moon landings were another conspiracy, Who put the mirrors on the moon ?, the friggin' Clangers.

Again Timmy, I'm not trying to talk shit but you are comparing distance and duration. The exposure to radiations at a certain distance has nothing to do with the time exposed to the radiation.

Experienced airlines pilots can be exposed to lower radiations but for about 250 hours per trimester when the Apollo mission has been exposed to higher (yet different) radiations for 200 hours in a row.

So, of course airline pilots have a better protection throught the atmospheric "shield", but they will take more radiations in the long term.
