So a science experiment that is still being used today is on the Moon and American equipment is still on the Moon but America never went to the Moon ?
Pure nonsense.

Yeah, but how do you know? Because that what you were taught? Because they gave us photos and bad video? Is that how we know?
Safe transit through the radiation belts was not the result of any special space suit technology. In point of fact, for much of the mission the astronauts did not even wear the suit helmets. Protection from radiation for the Apollo crew was primarily provided by the beryllium structure of the capsule itself, which acted as an neutron absorbing barrier, and a calculated trajectory through the radiation belts that provided the least exposure time
You specifically asked "What happened to the suit technology that allows them through the radiation belts?"
By your very question, you acknowledge that the radiation belts exist, since you obviously understand that the "suit technology" allowed the astronauts to traverse them.
To then claim that you "don't know if there are radiation belts or not" rather contradicts your previous assertion.

Didn't know everyone was so uptight about moon landings.

Didn't know you space guys got so upset over some questions.

Because the radiation affects computers, and the new capsules are all computer controlled. To get to places other than the moon, they’re going to have to go through other portions of the Belts, exposing them to more radiation. So they don’t know how that’s going to affect the capsule.

Where's Kubrick when you need him?

Some 40 years ago an ex-military friend of our family said the following. I am just putting it out for consideration. The 'Cold War' was in full swing at that time in the 70's/80's.
He said this, and I'm not quoting verbatim after 40 years:
There is just one thing the Americans and Russians work together on and that's space exploration. The Yanks got really pi**ed off when the Russians were first in space. So, because they both had a mutual interest in space and our defence from UFO's, they agreed that the Americans would get to be first on the moon and have that accolade.
So apparently, when Neil Armstrong said his famous words, they weren't the first words he spoke. (remember there was a time lag). Allegedly the first thing he said was "What the hell are they doing here?" meaning the Russians. The Russians were already there, but kept out of 'camera shot'. The Americans really believed the Russians would step back from this monumentous space event and allow them the glory of 'first on the moon'. But allegedly they didn't, they wanted the Americans to know "we still beat you to it".
So the cold war intensified, yet to this day we still have cosmonauts on the ISS.
I'm only reporting what a family friend told us.

If anyone is doubting the moon landings, I suggest you read all the third party evidence that's out there.
