• Question: do you think anyone has actually landed on the moon? surely the space suits are not thick enough so that the astronauts could survive the radiation?

      Yes, I’ve met some of the astronauts that were on the Moon. Why would you not believe that, with all the photographs and video of them walking on the moon?

      There are three different types of radiation, and spacesuits are built to protect against astronauts against two types of radiation. The third type of radiation is only dangerous if there is a radiation storm caused by the Sun. Then the astronauts would have to stay within their spaceship for protection.
