I covered that earlier as well. No one challenged the figures I gave at the time, but they are certainly worthy of scrutiny!
There's actually two Van Allen radiation belts - the inner and the outer.
A rocket uses the same technique you use to avoid being killed by an x-ray machine i.e. by only spending a short amount of time there!
The inner belts are fairly dangerous, though not so much so a human can’t pass through them if they have to. The outer belts are much less dangerous. A spacecraft can avoid the inner belt by leaving orbit at high inclination (far from the equator), and can minimise exposure by traveling through the area at speed - as the Apollo missions did.
Yeah well there's no kool-aide left. You all hogged it all. I'd love to know they went there. Just too much controversy. All that camera work after landing yet virtually nothing in outer space. Why not? Serious evidential corroboration. They did have windows.
Here's Buzz Aldrin narrating the descent of Apollo 17 watching the actual video out the window. NASA's 17 Apollo Moon Missions in Pictures | SpaceNote that he talks about the dust being kicked up almost obscuring their vision! Rocks, boulders? You have a clear view in the vid. I don't see no stinkin rocks. In the last moment, it's coming straight down. Regardless, back to my original question. Where's the beef? That thing may very well have landed on the moon alright, but there wasn't anybody in it! The tracks of the LRV in those pics may match perfectly in those pics but it was being driven remotely. You can find a piece of the horizon from all three landing sites and one from area 51 which match exactly when superimposed on each other.

There should be video of the approachimg moon and receding Earth. I cannot verify the pics/find the program entitled "Did We Go To The Moon?" They were presented there. But lets stick with the easy stuff such as Buzz Aldrin's direct contradiction regarding the diminished thrust output during descent. Your description fits others I've heard/seen as to why there's minimal to no evidence. So if you watch that video I linked to, Buzz certainly puts the kibosh on that notion. The footage reveals it too.
I don't know quite what we are saying here, but I watched Apollo 13 set off to the Moon through my telescope!
Anyway bit of Astronomical excitement on Sunday 10:
Don't miss Jupiter, Saturn and Mercury shine in a triple-conjunction this weekend | Space
A conjunction of Saturn, Jupiter and Mercury in the sunset. You don't often see Mercury. Might dig out the camera again.

All you need to know about observing Mercury is to be found here: Mercury - In-The-Sky.org
It's sub-zero up here right now, so I'll happily give the triple-conjunction a pass!
I think you are stuffed by cloud cover in Troon.
But things look promising down here for tonight and Sunday. Two jumpers, gloves and woolly hat I think. 5PM onwards.

Hope I don't get arrested for breaking some rule. I'll chance a chocolate bar since a Kit-Kat isn't a Picnic, IMO...

I would have to get my 'Wagon Wheels' on to get to Troon!
It's cold enough where I live to pick up a 'Penguin' and have a 'Snowball'!

AW, excellent chocolates.
Responsible for considerable tooth decay and dentist's bills and toothache in my life.
I am feeling quite up about tomorrow night.
I think I might pull this one off after tonight's considerable disappointment.

My new dentist is but a slip of a lass in the early years of her career, and I always look forward to her gentle administrations.Responsible for considerable tooth decay and dentist's bills and toothache in my life.
However, when I attended for a filling replacement the other week, it was like walking into a scene from The Andromeda Strain!
Brave girl, I hope she stays safe.

Me and my lovely and talented sister fight like cats and dogs.
I sent her a picture of the Christmas 24th. December Star on email.
While we were yakking away, she told me that she thought the Moon had gone a strange shape on Christmas Eve.
She is definitely not a dumb woman. So I checked my 24th. Dec archive.
EW. She was not dreaming. Weirdness.

After a cold gloomy cloudy day in Portsmouth, the skies have cleared!
Within an hour we shall know whether we can get a snap of the great Winter Conjunction!
Camera set, tripod in order.

I am excited. We either fly, or crash and burn. Red bicycle light packed, because I have learned from experience.
Bit like Elon Musk's Starship:

Back later, things to do. People to meet.

I wonder where he got his inspiration for the design from? Science Fiction Rocket Launch, Space Race, 50s, 60s, Russia, HD - YouTube
