i think there are still technical issues and various other elements such as radiation to overcome as to why wh have not been back.

Here is NASA's explanation of how the PLSS works but it won't matter since your mind is already made up.
www.hq.nasa.gov...
And NASA is so trustworthy, if you believe into NASA whatever they say explain then this to me, Why has NASA stopped there space program?

A simple explanation of how NASA contradicted themselves: Air conditioning does not work in the vacuum of space.
That is, until people like you came along, toocoolnc. Rather than rail against the political hacks who stifle our dreams, you attack the people who make our dreams of exploration come true. You casually call the genuine heroes and achievers liars and con-men, but you never thought to question the credibility of this William Cooper person.

The cooling system for an Apollo suit was plastic tubes sewn into an undergarment. The PLSS included 12 pounds of water, which circulated through the tubes, then was allowed to sublimate into the vacuum. That would permit 8 hours of activity. The SAS simply permits the astronaut to sweat into space to reduce body heat. Insensible perspiration only looses half the metabolic heat of a man at rest, so an astronaut in space would get warm and sweat. Water loss through sweat to eliminate the metabolic heat produced during a normal work load would be 8.2kg, or 18 pounds of water. This would require an 18 pound water bottle for drinking, but the plastic tubes, water circulation and regulation system, and the evaporator would not be needed. The 6 additional pounds of water would be more than offset by eliminating equipment; and no water bottle would be needed for short EVA's.
Maybe you can take your ''Inferring'' somewhere else.

Yes, it was absurd. For once, the prople who believed that we could do great things if we only try got their the chance to prove it - and they did. Scientists, engineers, technicians and men with bold vision actually got adequate funding to do something other than blow the crap out of someone on the other side of the world - and they did it...
I never understood why people believe we didn't go to the moon. Is it because it's too fantastic of an idea? Do people really think we as a species lack the means of knowledge to do such things?
Even though i understand how airplanes work, when i see a 747 take off and fly through the sky, it still blows me away that we can build machines that can do such things.
I think people don't give enough credit to our scientific achievements. I haven't seen any legit evidence that the moon landings were faked nor have i heard any really reasonable arguments for why they would bother to fake it.
