I sense it's getting close to when the moon landing hoax is finally revealed.
As a matter of fact, a mission to the moon only takes 6-7 days. With present technology anybody can duplicate the Apollo 8 lunar orbit ... and they could be back safe at home in 6-7 days.

Ok, then feel free to provide proof on how it was possible to film a scene in 1/6 gravity in a vacuum on Earth. Also why would they go through the trouble of designing and building something intended to be crewed by people and then send it empty? I mean they can get the LM to the moon, why not toss 3 guys in there and win the space race?

They slept in the LEM. They had a hammock that attached to the walls that they slept in at night. For Apollo 11, they slept on the floor wherever there was room.

The only problem is that no nation under God, no space program outside of Richard Nixon's presidency (1969-1974), has ever been able to duplicate or demonstrate the ability to perform this extraordinary scientific and engineering effort. This means that the moon landings were simulations.

And yet no one has been able to perfectly recreate said film trick in all the years since then? The only time they've been able to do it is the few seconds of near weightlessness on the Vomit Comet. That only lasts about 25-30 seconds every minute or so. It would have taken them years to film everything.

NASA could have used one Space Shuttle to do this same mission!... As we may recall... the journey through the Earth Radiation Belts is always a quick one.

Please stop repeating statements that have been shown to be untrue. Radiation exposure is a matter of exposure over time. The Apollo astronauts spent less than two weeks outside of Earth's magnetosphere. The shielding provided by the structure of the spacecraft was adequate for that period of time.

You cherry picked a source. In fact, both aluminum and epoxy are ideal shielding materials due to their low Z.

There you go again. Here:
Good laboratory practice is important to keep radiation doses low. To reduce bremsstrahlung, (90)Y should not be shielded by lead but instead perspex (10 mm) or aluminium (5 mm). Bremsstrahlung radiation can be further reduced by adding a millimetre of lead on the outside of the primary shielding material. If suitable shielding is used and larger numbers of handlings are divided among several persons, then handling of beta emitters can be a safe procedure.

This was literally the first thing to come up on google. I can cite countless papers.

Repeat: every spacecraft is constructed of aluminum. It is the ideal material. It is light weight, and its low density is a safeguard against secondary radiation.

What's the problem? Why am I angry?
I'll say it again "the greatest achievement by mankind EVER"
Saying it was a hoax is not only an insult to the thousands that worked on it but an insult to all of us everyone the human race as a species!
