There are plenty of moon rocks i was in america a month ago and was in a geologic museum and they had several moon rock and they where nothing like you get here on earth you could tell they weren't from earth and if man can send a self functioning robot to mar i think they could send people to the moon ,and there as loads of moon rocks on display across america anyway just most of them are still being worked on i think a more interesting question would be is if the moon was a boring waste land why spend all this time working on its rocks what minerals or materials they have found on the moon that they can exploit i personally believe man was on the moon simply because it was one of the technological and pioneering achievement of our species we finally left our planet for another world cant see why people would try to dirty it up.. its only my opinion {Ed001's Note - how did they shield the craft from the radiation in the Van Allen Belt?}

I dont no ed but im sure it would be the same way that they protect our satellites today or the way they protect the satellites that went to mars or the rover that went to mars all of them need protection from the radiation to protect their special components , our satellites orbiting earth need protection but only if their orbit spends significant time in the radiation belts maybe they used the same methods that the ufo's use lol {Ed001's Note - they don't need protecting, radiation is not going to give a satellite cancer is it? Perhaps you should read up about why it is that the Shuttle would only go so far from the Earth, because you will find it is the difficulty shielding it that stops it. The Apollo missions certainly had no shielding capable of blocking it.}

I think you should read up more about satellites then my friend as well as your mobile phones your internet would not work with out protecting the satellite that witch it works off the components witch work the satellites today are very complex and very fragile ,, radiation does not jst effect life it also effects technoligie as well my friend {Ed001's Note - not in the same way and check the satellites orbit and you will find they are this side of the Van Allen Belt and never enter it. So your point is irrelevant.}

Satellites do cross into it and can be protected against the radiation protection is protection ,, the radiation has to be stopped from damaging the satellites if they can protect satellites they they can protect astronauts {Ed001's Note - if you say so. But you are talking about protecting tiny little parts from radiation damage, not a human being. Obviously you don't understand how much weight that would add to the equation, and that would increase the power needed to launch massively.}

Not agreeing/disagreeing but in regards to the Van Allen Belt and Astronauts this is the explanation provided on Wiki, checked the sources quoted "The Apollo astronauts traveled through the Van Allen radiation belts on the way to the moon; however, exposure was minimized by following a trajectory along the edge of the belts that avoided the strongest areas of radiation.[18] The total radiation exposure to astronauts was estimated to be much less than the five (5) rem set by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission for people who work with radioactivity"

Dutch {Ed001's Note - if that was the case, why could they not continue to travel that path with the Shuttle?}

Face the facts Ed001 knows alot more about the subject.

Irish Red {Ed001's Note - hard to say, he might know something I don't, but I have read nothing that changes my opinion that something dodgy is going on. What it is I have no idea, maybe he does!}

If they did not land on the moon would the Russians who where in space at the time why have they not disputed the american claims that they had not am sure they would have if they had thought they had not

{Ed033's Note - If there is a secret space program separate to NASA that uses non-rocket black technology and other black technology to go to Mars/rest of the solar system etc. then it is possible they could have given NASA radiation shielding for the Apollo missions. The only part of the Apollo missions that could be fake is the pictures/video of astronauts on the moon because they didn't want to show us what's really on the moon. Here is what is probably on the moon - Jose Escamilla's film: Moon Rising, showing the Moon in colour and anomalies on the Moon - www.youtube.com/watch?v=nK-2N4L5rCA&feature=fvsr

Any time Russia disputes anything with america who listens?

We are all conditioned in the west to believe America = Good & Russia = Bad

I think you'll find America = Bad, Russia = Bad

America is always good look at TV programs, hollywood movies etc. So many people believe america is good maybe you don't but you are in a small minority {Ed001's Note - you are joking right?}

No I am not joking you may belive america is bad and your fellow ed's may believe america is bad but joe public belives America is good.

Take Ireland where Obama showed up not long ago 50,000 upwards turned out to see him. Shortly before this time the american administration blocked a 20 billion cut in irelands debts, how stupid is that?

Obama told the people of ireland it can repay its debts while on the vist there, he came out with a slogan is Irish - Is Feider Linn which translates to "Yes we Can" so the irish now have their mantra to repay debts.

Of course Ireland can not repay itsd debts but thats another story!

This is repeated in many other countries - now who does you think is joking, you or me?
