And there you go failing to comprehend, again, that politics does not invalidate science.
Evidence that Apollo didn't happen. Any time you like.
Do you even read the news?

You know nothing
Right back at you.

Hadn't looked in this thread for a while. But I came back and it doesn't disappoint.
Charles Bolden is now pointing laser weapons at the moon to stop people verifying the landing sites.
Marvellous.
Furthermore, shallow moonquakes lasted a remarkably long time. Once they got going, all continued more than 10 minutes. "The moon was ringing like a bell," Neal says.
then why do you not do a thread of your own some people do put a lot of effort into a.t.s .

Your fantasy world knows no limits. Meanwhile here in the real one I'd like some actual stone cold hard un-disprovable evidence. Any time you like.

The probes are there for research purposes.

That is reality.
Apollo used the level of knowledge and understanding about the VAB available to it to minimise astronaut's time in them. That is reality. If they knew nothing about the belts, why were Apollo trajectories designed that way?. The level of knowledge and understanding they had was obtained by both Soviet and US research at the time (the Soviets actually knew more, but politics kept them out of the journals).
It is one thing to know where a dangerous area is, and how to avoid it. Knowing exactly why it is dangerous and what processes are occurring in that area is something different. That is what the current research is about.

Avoiding a hazard is possible.....if you know the hazard exists in the first place!!
You say Apollo managed to avoid a hazard that wasn't even known to exist yet! Dumb luck, right?

Charles Bolden has an army of transvestite monkey aliens stationed on the moon wielding gigantic Snickers bars in order to fight off any intruders who might find Da Troof.
That statement has precisely as much fact supporting it as your one about his space lasers.

Their existence was confirmed from information secured by launching the first U.S. earth satellite, Explorer I, sent up during the International Geophysical Year of 1957–58. The belts were named for James A. Van Allen, the American astrophysicist who first predicted the belts and then was first to interpret the findings of the Explorer satellite.

The existence of the van Allen Belts was knew well before the Apollo missions. The Van Allen Belts were confirmed to exist in 1958 through data collected by Explorer 1 and 2. The Russian probe Luna 1 collected data about the outer Van Allen belt in 1959.

The belts were actually hypothesized to exist well before that. It wasn't a surprise that Explorer 1 found the belts -- many (including Dr. Van Allen) expected the belts to be there.
Turbonium --
I don't get your logic about why you find it odd that they are still conducting tests on the van Allen Belts, even though they had some direct data on the belts 50 years ago. I don't know if you are being deliberately obtuse on this matter or what...
They had enough information about the belts in the 1960s to tell them they were dangerous, and enough information to tell them where the thin (less dangerous) parts were. That was and adequate mount of information (although maybe not an ideal amount of info) for the Apollo program, which was trying to land a man on the moon before the end of the decade. However, that doesn't mean that they knew EVERYTHING about them, so why wouldn't they continue researching the belts?
Perhaps they would rather find a better way of dealing with the danger of the belts other than planning out-of-the-way trajectories for manned craft through the belts. Maybe they want to know if there are ways to plan more direct trajectories and still afford the astronaut adequate protection.
