He doesn't need to. Anyone with a brain can figure it out. The fuel problem is one I hadn't really given any thoughts. But the Van Allen Belts dilemma proved to me that we never came close. A friend and hunting buddy of mine originally from England is a nuclear engineer. Several times we've discussed the problem of contending with the Van Allen Belts while sitting in a duck blind.
All we can do is low earth orbit, about 250 miles altitude at most. The first Van Allen Belt starts at around 370 miles and is 7,500 miles wide. Then the second one starts at 1860 miles and is 36,000 miles wide. That's a lot of deadly radiation for a human to absorb. A man would last only a few seconds if that.
I saw one NASA scientist say that unless we can come up with some new technology to block radiation the walls of the capsule of the ship would have to be 8' thick lead.

With utmost respect, I challenge you to test your claim that the moon landing was faked.
Some of the greatest Christian apologists were once staunch atheists who sought to disprove God’s existence, only to find their beliefs transformed by rigorous evidence. Similarly, if you’re confident in your stance, try to disprove it first.
Examine the strongest evidence for the moon landing’s authenticity and see if your position holds firm. If it does, your argument will stand on solid ground. If you avoid this challenge, you risk clinging to beliefs without seeking the truth.
"Who is not satisfied with himself will grow. Who is not sure of his own correctness will learn many things." - Some Chinese guy said this.
I challenge you to do the same thing with your theory. It's good that some atheists converted over their belief in the moon landing. God works in mysterious ways, He can use anything for His good.
I'd like to see this "rigorous evidence" you mentioned. If they do have any they'll be the first to ever produce provable evidence. So far all we have is tales and grainy TV footage. TV cameras were massive in those days. Of course there were handheld 8mm and 16mm cameras but those couldn't be broadcast live. And these people were sending live TV broadcasts back from the moon. Keep in mind we barely had color TV in 1969. I saw my first color TV in 1965.
You've been drilled and indoctrinated since childhood that the moon landing was simply a fact, we did it, end of story. It's hard to turn loose of something you've always believed. This is a problem a lot of people are having with government and are soon going to have with history itself.
I was in high school when the Apollo mission launched. I watched it all on TV. Luckily my dad, the Army Sergeant who told me when I was 11 that Oswald didn't kill JFK, the CIA did, also taught me to doubt everything. So later when I saw that landing "module" that was made out of Mylar too many red flags started popping up.
Search screwtube for Everyday Astronaut Apollo video. I'm still on the fence. But this video is the best I've ever seen.
Here you go, fellow space nerd https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMHLvoWZfqQ
The exterior walls of the lander cargo compartment were made of mylar. That's all they needed to be, as the structural loads were taken up by the body of the lander. Weight was at a premium for that mission. You would do better to read up on the mission instead of having a bull session in a duck blind.
So weight was an issue but not possible puncture from travelling through Rock debris?
I'd accept your challenge but I am not wholly in any camp, do not make a claim to one side or the other.
Polaris Dawn flew to 850nm altitude in 2024, no issues. Highest altitude since Apollo. Also the particular radiation in the belt (I forgot) does not need lead shielding as lead would produce x rays (bad) but aluminum is a much better insulator. I posted the everyday astronaut video about this a few months back but got a temporary vacation for it. I'm actually amazed this thread has not been shitcanned.
Yes. Polaris Dawn flew through the radiation belts (intentionally)
Jared Issacman's crew did an interview discussing this
Also, humans in general seem to have a rather higher tolerance for radiation, any kind, than people generally assume. Especially if the exposure is relatively short. It can be a gamble, as some individuals react worse than others, but it is not a guaranteed death, or even guaranteed harm, for everybody.
The highest natural radioactive background radiation area on Earth where people live seems to be Ramsar, Iran, 250 mSv per year, when the highest allowed for nuclear facility workers and such seems to be 50 mSv per year, and yet people living in Ramsar, a lot of who have lived there their whole lives, actually seem to have lower number of lung cancer cases per year than people living elsewhere, and otherwise no higher number of anything you usually connect to radiation exposure.
