Would you consider visiting the moon?

I'd be glad to just witness a Mars landing in my lifetime. That would be epic.

Saaame

I heard a story from a recent astronaut and when the first saw the earth from space his literal first thought was "huh neat" it's not that mind shattering as it turns out.

Oh, please. 🙄 More of this moon landing hoax BS. You're clearly not a stupid guy, but on some things you do seem determined to ignore easily accessible, well-established scientific facts and keep on guzzling down the KookAid.

OSHA says a dose of 300 Rads in an hour is fatal. Since the NASA scientists planning the Apollo missions weren't idiots, they planned the trajectory of the missions to avoid the worst of the Van Allen belt radiation. Dosimeters carried by the Apollo astronauts indicated that thanks to their path and the shielding on their spacecraft, they actually received an average of less than 2 Rads over 6 days. Any rational person would take the fact that none of them suffered from radiation poisoning or had any other problems later in life that could be directly linked to radiation exposure as proof that the problem isn't that big.

But of course conspiracy wingnuts do their usual, flip the facts on their head, and say that this only proves that they didn't get anywhere near the Van Allen belts, and they would have returned to Earth looking like Hiroshima survivors if they had. A lack of knowledge and understanding can be fixed, but there's no cure for wilful ignorance.
