Moon Landing deniers love to bring up the Van Allen Radiation belts. So let's talk about the discovery of the belts, what they are, why the Apollo missions were NOT stopped by the Van Allen belts, and how human activity has effected the belts both through nuclear weapons testing and radio wave communications.

Thanks to Patron Robert Williams for the question!
