Van Allen Belts-“In fact, Dr. Van Allen helped to design the Apollo lunar trajectories, which were engineered specifically to lessen radiation exposure. Despite the conspiracists’ insistence that Dr. Van Allen agrees with them, he has rejected the claim that radiation exposure during the Apollo missions would have been fatal to the astronauts, calling it “nonsense”.”
why havent we been back since? (oh yeah the technology got destroyed)
Why should we go back? It’s very expensive, tere is no particular reason to go, other space programmes (ISS in particular) give a better return on the investment. I’ve no idea where you got the ‘technology got destroyed’ thing from, but it’s on display in museums all over the world.
the lack of impact crater on the moon landing site
An impact crater would indicated a landing that would have killed the astronauts. The whole point of the mission was to get peiople there and bring them back alive.
the waving flag
“the video you see where the flag’s moving is because the astronaut just placed it there, and the inertia from when they let go kept it moving,” said spaceflight historian Roger Launius, of the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum in Washington D.C. In space, there is no atmosphere to damp down the motion, so it would go on moving for a lot longer thna it would in a still atmosphere on earth.
….and similar, logical, scientific explanations exist for all of the other things you listed. If you really have done your research you would be well aware of that. But you have deliberately chosen to believe one set of explanations, the one that contradicts science and engineering, rather than another. I don’t know why you would make that choice and I’m not going to speculate.
