My problem with the moon landings were how they got through the Van Allen radiation fields around the earth? Conspiracy theorists say the ships and suits they travelled in offered little protection from the powerful radiation. Don't think we'll ever know the truth.
Always amuses me when people say they don't believe that they could have got safely through the Van Allen belt.
A quick Google will lead you to a large number of explanations and calculations showing it is demonstrably safe for the time they spent going through it.
Yet presumably you've read a nut job website that has told you it is literally impossible to survive going through and you've decided to accept that without question.
