Why do so many people believe the U.S. hasn't went to the Moon or even space?

I blame it on the Education system, but what do I know?

You don't know the difference between "your" and "you're".

I formerly was a radiographer then worked as an inspector at a uranium refinement plant.  Gamma radiation was the biggest worry while working as a radiographer.  Alpha and beta particles were the main concern as an inspector at a uranium refinement plant.  Space capsules and the ISS do not have to worry much about particulate radiation, but ionizing radiation is the main culprit (especially gamma, and to a lesser extent x-rays). 

The human body has been dealing with radiation for over a million years (uh oh, here we go, evolution).  There are enzymes to repair radiation damage in DNA and there are genes to destroy cells that become damaged.  It takes a lot of radiation to kill a human.

So why are we going to Mars?

"We" are not. That program got killed. We have a guy in our squad that works for Space X. Even they are making progress only slowly. NASA is out for the moment, but even they would take ten years to get to Mars, and I think probably longer.

Personally, I think we could learn just as much with a permanent station on the Moon, but maybe if I had billions of dollars I might have a few more reasons to have a project of that size.

Here's a good experiment done by Nvidia.

If they had faked it, it would have looked like this:

But this is not done after the original, the originals recordings were lost, erased; imagine that, after millions of years of evolution climbing trees first humanoid gets to the Moon takes a selfie and loses the film;

Apollo 11 missing tapes    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_11_missing_tapes

Moon landing tapes got erased, NASA admits
"The original recordings of the first humans landing on the moon 40 years ago were erased and re-used, but newly restored copies of the original broadcast look even better, NASA officials said "

Netherlands lunar sample displays;
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netherlands_lunar_sample_displays

"A treasured piece at the Dutch national museum - a supposed moon rock from the first manned lunar landing - is nothing more than petrified wood, curators say.
It was given to former Prime Minister Willem Drees during a goodwill tour by the three Apollo-11 astronauts shortly after their moon mission in 1969.
When Mr Drees died, the rock went on display at the Amsterdam museum......

The US agency gave moon rocks to more than 100 countries following lunar missions in the 1970s.
US officials said they had no explanation for the Dutch discovery."

To end the thread, the moon landings are irrelevant to the majority of people and thus no one cares

Like the Oscars which I would boycott but I have work in the morning
