It was not that hard to go to the moon, even back then. The margin was very tight though. I think the first landing was faked. But one or more of the latter landings succeeded. Why was the first one faked? To meet JFK’s timetable before the end of the decade.
It wasnt hard?
You may want to read about the VanAllen Radiation Belt among other things.
I am quite familiar. If all goes according to plan, the rads are not that bad. There’s always risk that it won’t go as planned. That’s why they get paid the big bucks:-). Among other things, I am an astronautical engineer.
Okay if you think its easy to go ....Nasa doesnt think so

The video is true, but the different stages are hyped for dramatic effect. And the orbital drawings are not actual.
