Should be impossible yes?
Oh thats right the so called experts say this is a "Mirage".
there is no curvature
we can see landmarks further away than would be possible on a globe
💯
I did.

I mean these weren't meant to be exposed to the stresses of launch
they're nice and cozy in the fairing
satellites are much more ugly than the rocket
for this reason
Rockets can't have these wonky features on them during launch
that's why they are mostly streamlined
To monitor radiation exposure during the flights, Apollo crews carried dosimeters on board their spacecraft and on their persons. And these readings confirmed NASA had made a good choice. At the end of the program, the agency determined that its astronauts had avoided the large radiation doses many feared would ground flights to the Moon. Over the course of the lunar missions, astronauts were exposed to doses lower than the yearly 5 rem average experienced by workers with the Atomic Energy Commission who regularly deal with radioactive materials. And in no case did any astronaut experience any debilitating medical or biological effects. And beside, the Apollo astronauts were former test pilots. Flying to the Moon, radiation exposure included, was still a safer day at the office than putting an experimental aircraft through its paces in the skies above Edwards Air Force Base.
huh
, NASA was confident that Apollo crews would be passing through the belts fast enough that the spacecraft’s skin and all the instrumentation lining the walls would be enough protection. It might seem foolhardy in hindsight for NASA to have accepted the risks of send astronauts through the Van Allen belts without extra protection, but it was a minor risk in the scheme of the mission.
NASA flying by the seat of its pants
and got really really lucky
I mean those pictures on the right *are* cgi
there aren't pictures like that
