Look, the fact is that no legitimate scientists believe that the moon landings were faked. Not in the US, not in Russia (or any other former Soviet republic), not anywhere. I repeat: NO LEGITIMATE SCIENTISTS BELIEVE THE MOON LANDINGS WERE FAKED. The science is just too simple and verifiable to dismiss the overwhelming evidence. For example, the Van Allen belts issue is just silly. It has been widely known by both US and Russian scientists since at least the mid-1960s that you can easily traverse the Van Allen belts in relative safety. Gemini 10 purposely went through the Southern Atlantic Magnetic Anomaly (SAMA, a low hanging portion of the inner Van Allen belt) to collect data prior to the Apollo missions. The Shuttle passes through the SAMA for approximately 30 minutes on each 90 minute orbit (depending on the specific orbit) for weeks long missions. This simply isn’t a problem and hasn’t been for nearly 40 years. The radiation found in the Van Allen belts is from high-energy charged particles (alpha, beta, and protons), which, while dangerous, are easy to shield against. Alpha particles are heavy and won’t even penetrate your skin. They can be completely blocked by a sheet of paper. Protons are more of a problem, but can be shielded by light metals (like aluminum) or some plastics in thicknesses of less than 1 cm. Betas aren’t very damaging to humans in themselves (very small, so they don’t hit much, and do little damage when they do), but can generate harmful gamma rays (through Bremsstrahlung) when they hit heavier metals. Luckily, they are easy to shield against. Water works great, but is impractical for space applications, so they typically use polyethylene (HDPD). Your GROW! containers are probably made of this, and are probably thick enough to shield from the beta particles. So, repeat after me - the Van Allen belts present no real threat to manned missions and haven’t for almost 4 decades.
