Thanks for the replies. I've seen the Bart Sibrel docuмentary a few times. I don't have an answer for that footage you mention. If the moon landings were faked why would they fake it 9 times? More funding? The Apollo astronauts would have to have been in on it, and yet they seem too low-level for the conspirators to trust them to not divulge things. They also must be master actors because I've seen many interviews with these astronauts and they seem honest. But perhaps I'm naive.
But to the question of the impossibility of humans surviving a pass throught the Van Allen Belts, is the following not a good explanation?
.
I've read through this whole thread and found several references to the Bart Sibrel "docuмentary" (singular) and several questions about the Van Allen belts (plural).
.
But Sibrel has published several "docuмentaries" (plural) and there are a lot more questions about the Van Allen belts.
.
Here is a unique interview done by Sibrel, featuring perhaps the earliest Apollo-hoax author of them all, Bill Kaysing, who wrote a book in 1974 under contract with Price, Stern, Sloan:
We Never Went to the Moon. (See minute 10:, 44: ) Apparently filmed in 1996 (see min. 49)

This 1-hour interview was originally going to be included in Sibrel's "A Funny Thing Happened..." but was deleted out of time constraints. It seems odd that not even a few minutes of Kaysing were deemed relevant. Kaysing touches on many topics, most of which are not found otherwise here in this thread. I found it most interesting when he enumerates the conspicuously timed deaths of key witnesses in the years during and following Apollo. Kaysing himself died shortly after giving this interview.
.
Regarding Matthew's concern that the distance to the moon is far and away another ball game compared to 100% of the rest of manned space flight missions, Kaysing is similarly concerned, but on a much broader scale. He says that in many categories the Apollo missions were off the charts in breaking all the reasonable limits of probability (80 systems, 6 times, without fail -- min. 55). He says that the data records for the Apollo missions are not classified information, but nonetheless, nobody can get access to them (see min. 34). For example, nobody is able to explain how the Lunar Excursion Module (LEM) was able to rendezvous with the Command Module after leaving the moon when the latter was orbiting (allegedly) the moon at a tremendously faster velocity. Yet this incredibly complicated maneuver was somehow performed FIRST TIME without a hitch, unrehearsed. There were MANY such first-time-unrehearsed successes in Apollo. The probability of all these things going right first time without any experience is very close to zero. But people believe it anyway.
.
One college professor Sibrel quotes as saying that even if he (Sibrel) could get one astronaut to admit that the whole moon mission thing was a hoax, he still would think that it had been real.

Bart Sibrel's unedited, never before broadcast, interview with, now deceased, original moon landing hoax proponent and former contractor to NASA during the Apollo moon missions, Bill Kaysing. The interview was edited out of Sibrel's "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Moon" at the request of Fox Television to make the film fit into a one hour time slot.
.
Mr. Kaysing discusses his first hand account of the incredible atmosphere of engineering ineptitude, on-the-job drunkenness, and endless insurmountable schedule slippages that were rampant in the program, dooming it to failure. "The only way to make it, was to fake it", he said was the underground motto of the staff.
.
Never before in all of recorded aviation has a flying machine worked on its first attempt, much less the most complicated one ever imagined, landing on another heavenly body on its maiden voyage, and returning roundtrip with a crew that lived to tell, all with 1960's technology. (More computing power today is found in a $10 watch).
.
According Kaysing, a classified interdepartmental memo rated the odds of a successful and survivable manned lunar landing on its first attempt at
one in ten thousand. That is why the returning men of the mission looked so dejected rather than triumphant at their press conference, as they were blackmailed into lying about the alleged greatest accomplishment of mankind, to the detriment of their own souls.

After all this, I still have unanswered questions about the alleged BATTERIES, and the alleged AIR CONDITIONING equipment.
Lead acid batteries were the only type in use at the time, but how do they work in a VACUUM? They would have to be dry cell batteries or else the electrolyte would boil off without ambient air pressure. So the lunar rover for example would have to be powered with something like a very long stack of nickle-cadmium D cells (that was the rechargeable variety of that time).
.
Ask any air conditioning technician or engineer about how it works. You need to have a heat sink or an environment where you can dump the BTUs from the cooled volume. If you want to cool off a LEM or a space suit, you need a cooler place where the heat can be disposed of. On the sunlit surface of the moon the 250-degree environment has no such cool place where the heat can be dumped off. Plus, there is no air or atmosphere on the moon so no evaporator coil would have anything to cool it off, no matter how hot it gets. The only way to dispense with the heat would be by radiation like infrared radiation. It would require a refrigerant to be upwards of 300 degrees so it could lose heat in a 250-degree moon surface. No one has ever explained what refrigerant could be used that operates at 300 degrees F.
