We have traveled through it, so it is real enough. No psychological operation. It has been known since the time of Copernicus. Operation Starfish was a nuclear event in space. There were no nuclear tests over Antarctica.
Why Operation Starfish? They wanted to know how nuclear devices performed in space. It was an early anti-satellite system. The Soviets were experimenting with fractional orbital bombardment systems: launching a nuclear warhead into orbit, and then de-orbiting to hit its target. Probably a good idea to intercept such a thing. Better for nukes to detonate in space than lower down.
Who says we can't? We did it on the way to the Moon, and we can do it again. Our satellites and space probes do it all the time. We just haven't gone to the Moon in a long time---for reasons that have nothing to do with the Van Allen belts. We are working toward returning to the Moon, either by NASA or by Elon Musk. Stay tuned. The trick is not to linger in the belts.
You pose a challenge, but it is evident that you don't know a lick of what you are talking about, or you wouldn't be so ridiculous as to throw that up.
Well, by that video, it is clear you are nutso. We have gone through the Van Allen belt, multiple times. And when we return to the Moon, we will go through it again.
You are babbling nonsense. NASA is a formerly respectable, now miserably inept government agency. They are, to be sure, misrepresenting what is happening in the realm of "climate science," but that is transparently political. You have nothing but empty allegations and equally empty questions about Elon Musk, who has made the first big step in reusable rockets in decades.
I have 3 degrees in aerospace science and a 40-year career in the industry, working on space technology and launch vehicles. Go lecture someone who is more stupid than you. You don't even dig to find truth.
