365. Yes, the Van Allen Radiation Belts would mean . . .
that humans cannot survive in outer space --

the MIR, for instance, is in low earth orbit --

and even there astronauts have difficult retaining their health.

Btw, a woman -- Shannon Lucid -- for a while held the record for time

on the Mir. We have long known that tests show that females are more

suitable for space than males. Males often exist the MIR unable to walk.

Yes -- I doubt that if we did actually send anyone to the moon that they survived.

And, I certainly doubt that Armstrong has ever been further than near outer space.

Yes -- I'm with those who have actually given the moon landings some thought --


"Only fools never doubt" --
