definitely, it's just interesting how this conspiracy theory gets looped into 'radiation' sickness. Its also interesting how fanatical people get about simple discussion on the topic. There is obviously three parties regarding these landings, and those parties became rather defined when the Europeans found all the water
The other thought about this theory is the fact the Van Allen Belt is a shield for radiation, solar flares etc one of the Russian attempts had all the astronauts coming back black lol
