The Greatest Goverment Conspiracy of all Time
The Crowning achievement of humankind...The greatest boast of the species. The greatest event in history, most associated with pride in our own accomplishments! Landing on the moon. Twenty years later, and years behind schedule, the same space program, NASA , couldn't put into Earth orbit a telescope, the Hubble , with a lens that focused. And yet two decades earlier, a mission one hundred times more complicated, worked on it's first occasion. From A critical examination of the entirely government controlled press coverage, and newly discovered footage of the crew of Apollo 11 staging part of their mission, I wish to detail what may come to be...The Greatest Government Conspiracy of All Time! Destination Moon !!
Where, in relation to the Russions did we stand in the days of the "Race to the Moon" ? The Russion's were "Ahead of the U.S. by leaps and bounds" quoted a US government official Wernher Von Braun before the death of President Kennedy. "We Can not and will not ever,get into this race as we should," John Medaris .
Did the Atlas Rocket used to reach orbit even have the lifting capability, or sheilding in the command module necessary for such an endeavor?
Let us pontificate upon the subject for a moment.
Unbeknownst to the citizenry, high above the Earth, beginning at 1,000 miles and extending to 25,000 miles lay lethal bands of radiation called the Van Allen Radiation Belts . Every Space mission in history with humans on board, from both the U.S. and Soviet Union, from the first, in 1961 to the present, has remained well below this deadly radiation field. Mercury . Gemini . Soyuz . Skylab . & the space shuttle . all maintained altitudes well below 1,000 miles. All, except Apollo .
The more experienced Soviet's spent more than 100 hours in space for every 20 hours of the US . In order to survive the hour and a half journey through this radiation field necessary to reach the moon, and return, Solid Lead Sheilding between the astronauts and the exposure outside would be required. The mammoth Saturn 5 rocket used by apollo, was already 35 stories tall, and weighed as much as a battleship. To add additional tonnage in the form of a lead barrier, completely surrounding the crew members, would have made it impossible for the vehicle to get off the ground. That is why the Soviets, though more advanced, only sent an unmanned probe to the Moon. The Apollo spacecrafts sheilding was less than 1/8 of of an inch of light aluminum.
In 1998, the space shuttle flew to an altitude of 350 miles, one of it's highest altitudes ever. Hundreds of miles below a field of radiation that was so severe, that the astronuts, inside their sheilded spacecraft, and inside their sheilded spacesuits, saw flashes of light with their eyes closed that they described as shooting stars, due to radiation penetrating first the shuttle's sheilding, then, their space suits, then the retinas of their eyes. As a result CNN issued the following report noting NASA's unpredicted surprise. "The radiation belt surrounding Earth may be more dangerous for space walking astronauts than previously believed. Scientists say that the phenomenonen known as the Van Allen Belts can spawn KILLER ELECTRONS when the Earth's magnetic field changes. These electrons, which are being studied, could have an important effect not only on satellites but on astronauts, by creating large doses of radiation, that could inflence their health.".
Put that in your pipe and consider it for awhile !!!
