We never went to the moon. The Youtube evidence is conclusive. Not the Van Allen thing again." "Van Allen." It is absolutely impossible for human beings to traverse the Van Allen radiation belt. Explain how the Apollo astronauts passed through that radiation belt without either dying or hulking out. They were exposed to a cat-scan's worth of radiation.

"Now that's a win."

"That's six 'noes' and one 'aye', the ayes have it"

"Mainstream? Who's to say what's mainstream?"
