The music itself sucks, but I find it really fitting the video. Well, Gemini 9 was full of flops and setbacks. From the 'angry aligator' - shroud of the target vehicle still partially in it's place, impossibility of docking, to the lousy preparation for the EVA, which damn nearly killed pilot Gene Cernan. Clip's music is so hopeless, that strangely, it fits.
@99thmonkee You confuse radiation with radioactivity, two entirely different subjects. Solar radiation is primarily composed of X-rays and significantly weaker UV-rays. The "radiation" is in fact so weak it would not even break skin; several angstroms of aluminum would have been more than adequate for shielding. In order to get acute radiation sickness, radiation would need to get into the bone marrow.
@SakuraHaruta The primary concern was secondary cosmic rays, not X, gamma or UV radiation. See the wikipedia article on "Health_threat_from_cosmic_rays"
Everybody saying men could never traverse the Van Allen Belts have never been there. The men who did go into them during Gemini and Apollo missions were fine. Gemini 10 did several runs through the Southern Atlantic Magnetic Anomaly and confirmed a spacecraft hull could withstand the radiation before the Apollo missions. The skin of the spacecraft had only to attenuate the radiation, not block it out completely.
@Purpleplanetar17 Correct. A real understanding of what radiation is shows that they are not the 'impassible force' conspiracy theorists believe. Mainly high-energy electrons, trapped in far toroidal bands. The density is not enough to 'kill instantly' the exposure just needs to be kept low. A small amount of shielding can do this,by conducting them away/absorbing. Though, because the capsule is not very dense, it also helps lower the bremsstrahlung (more harmful x-rays and gamma) produced.

@El135o i had to shake hans with four of the mercury seven. they were spam in a can. Apollo Grissom was one of the ones killed by NASA to shut his ass up. i shook his hand also, buttwipe.
Most conspiracy theorists are also poorly-educated underachievers; looking for someone to blame for their failures and projecting their own lack of ambition and imagination, courtesy of the Apollo Hoax Theory. They cannot understand how it was possible to put a Man on the Moon, so it must have been impossible.
Regarding the 2500 rem per year radiation doses number
2500 rem PER YEAR is for a space craft with a 3 mm aluminium shield in orbit of a 200 x 20,000 miles.This means it passes through it 2 times every orbit and I did a quick calculation indicating the orbit takes 0.66 days.
So the doses should be 2500 * 0.66 = 1650 REM per day in the calculations for Apollo. So it was only 0.25 REM per hour passing through the radiation belts.
@99thmonkee Why, what references are you basing your findings on? Which peer-reviewed research paper states that lunar transit or a short stay would be lethal? Or did you watch a hoax video with the magic words 'deadly radiation'?
Soviet Luna and Zond probes corroborate the findings that lunar radiation for a day amounts to around 30 millirads, and certain trajectories to the moon are safe for human transit.
The video evidence shows that the Apollo moon landings were faked. Here's a partial summary of it.

They probably never got higher than low earth orbit due to space radiation. In the second half of the link above there's some stuff about space radiation.
It seems, though, that while there are a few people stating that the Van Allen belts are lethal, in any situation, the vast majority of physicists, doctors and radiation experts seem to be in consensus that a low, limited exposure to the belts, with adequate shielding would be relatively safe.
Traveling at around 25,000 mph, the astronauts would have made it through the radiation in about an hour, receiving 1/25 of the radiation that is considered dangerous. It's not like in the movies that if you're exposed to to radiation for 1 nanosecond you'll fry up.
I'm not telling you if moon landings were real or not, I am giving you answers to your theories, and please don't get theories from blogs.
There's a mountain of hard evidence such as the flag waving when the astronaut trots by it at a distance and the air gust he creates in the studio makes it move.
Do a YouTube search on "Apollo 15 waving flag at 2:37 ".
The video evidence clearly shows fakery. The reason they had to fake it was probably space radiation.

Most Apollo conspiracy theorists are under 25, male, borderline paranoid, and consider themselves superior to the general public.
99.999999% of them have never met an astronaut or NASA team member.
Don't buy their crap. Twelve men walked on the Moon. LRO photos confirm footprint trails.

Let me guess you do not understand that radiation dose is intensity TIMES duration.
It is 2500 rem PER YEAR When you traverse the radiation belts.
That is 6.8 rem per day, or 0.3 REM per hour. Yes they traversed the belt in an hour or bit more. 2x0.3 = 0.6 rem! Way below the 200 rem doses.
No solar flares happened during the Apollo missions.
Cosmic rays 90 rem per year is 0.3 rem per day.

Neither the Soviet Union nor its sucessor entities ever disputed that NASA went to the Moon.

ok, i will have a look at that when i got some spare time.
i'll go in with a open mind, but not so open that my brain falls out, which is a fate that seems to become most conspiracy theorists.

i will report back.
