what do you people think? I don't think we ever did.
The moon landing was a real event that took place on July 20, 1969. It was a significant achievement for the United States, and it was broadcasted live for the world to see. The authenticity of the moon landing has been confirmed by multiple sources, including independent investigations and scientific evidence.
The Van Allen radiation belts are regions of intense radiation surrounding the Earth. During the Apollo missions, the spacecraft traveled through the belts at a high speed, minimizing the astronauts' exposure to radiation. Additionally, the spacecraft's shielding and the astronauts' suits provided protection from the radiation. NASA also carefully planned the timing of the mission to avoid the most dangerous levels of radiation.
The cameras used during the moon landing were set to capture the bright surface of the moon, making it difficult to capture the dim light of the stars. The astronauts also had limited time to take photos and were focused on documenting the mission rather than taking artistic shots of the stars. Furthermore, the moon's surface reflects a lot of light, making it challenging to capture the faint stars in the background.
The flag on the moon was not waving, but it may appear so in some photos due to the movement of the astronauts while planting it. The flag was made of a lightweight material that did not have a rigid structure, causing it to move and appear to be waving in the photos. Additionally, the flag's movement was caused by the vibrations from the astronauts' footsteps and the wind created by the landing spacecraft.
Yes, multiple countries have independently confirmed the moon landing, including the Soviet Union, which was a significant competitor in the space race at the time. The Soviet Union had the technology to track and monitor the Apollo spacecraft, and they also had access to information from the astronauts' medical examinations after their return to Earth. Furthermore, images taken by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter show the Apollo landing sites and the remains of the lunar modules, providing further evidence of the moon landing's authenticity.
