It never fails.  Those who tout the Moon Hoax generally know beans about aerospace science, and the discussion here meets that standard.  The flight happened.  They landed on the Moon.  Everything was as it was (plenty of ignorance about the requirements of photography enters at this point).  The Van Allen Belts were discovered in 1958 and are fairly well explained as  magnetic trapping of plasma (a big topic for confined-plasma nuclear fusion research).  Too bad about the lost data (NASA has run downhill since the Apollo program), but there is nothing lost about the Moon's orbit or the trajectories that are needed to get there. For "Hairy Ass," be glad that the LEM was NOT built of tinfoil.  It was standard aerospace structure.  What you are being confused by is the gilded foil thermal insulation covering the propellant and electronics bays.  Direct sunlight is about 1.3 kilowatts/sq. meter, so protection is necessary.  You are in a poor position to declare "bullshit" over anything.
