Charles,
And if it were physically impossible to have conducted moon landings, would that be enough to convince you? The Van Allen radiation belt, for example, would seem to pose an insurmountable obstacle to travel to the moon without incurring death. I find it intriguing that the Wikipedia entry on "Van Allen Radiation Belt", http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Allen_radiation_belt includes the following paragraph:
Missions beyond low earth orbit leave the protection of the geomagnetic field, and transit the Van Allen belts. Thus they may need to be shielded against exposure to cosmic rays, Van Allen radiation, or solar flares. The region between two to four earth radii lies between the two radiation belts and is sometimes referred to as the "safe zone".[10][11]
There are quite a few videos about it, including "Van Allen Radiation Belt", http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyl1LsB7Xr8, "NASA's Radiation Problem", http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKB5u_VTt...ature=fvwp, and others. Even better is "Conspiracy Theory: Did We Land on The Moon?", http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UKiyOScrIY , among the best explanations why the moon landings appear to be a hoax.
