Russia Continues to Surpass Americans in the Space Race

One cosmonaut who was sent in far outer space reportedly experienced the Van
Allen Belts harmful effects firsthand.  According to various sources, while he left white, he came back black; he was cooked to a crisp due to the harmful radiation.  This was despite heavy shielding to dissipate any rays, which did no good.  Those who knew about this incident were reportedly devastated.

Then, suddenly, out of nowhere, as Americans and the rest of the world stood
in front of their televisions, two astronauts stepped on the moon in 1969. Up until then, America was putting people about 400 miles away in orbit--far away from the harmful Van Allen Belts.  But suddenly Americans made it into outer space--landing and walking on the moon--250,000 miles away, no less?

In 1965, the U.S. made a fake moon landscape, which was used for testing a space vehicle.  Some have suggested the scenery for the moon landing was faked.  Could this have been it?

Russia seemed to continue to have "firsts"--except for the moon landing.  On
April 19, 1971, they had the first Space Station.  The Soviets launch Salyut 1, the first orbiting space station. Salyut 1's original crew reportedly died during re-entry on June 30, 1971. Georgi Bobroeolski, Vladislav Volkov, and Victor Patsayev had spent a new record of 23 days in outer space.

It wasn't for two more years that the first American Space Station--May 14, 1973--was developed. The first American space station, Skylab, is damaged during launch. The first of three crews arrive 11 days later for a 28-day stay. They make in-orbit repairs and set records for time spent in space.

Russia had the first woman, Svetlana Savitskaya, to participate in a space walk on July 17, 1984.    With her partner, Vladimir Dzhanibekov, she conducted welding experiments for over three hours outside the Soviet space station Salyut 7. Savitskaya had become the second woman to fly in space during a Soviet mission in 1982.

There were all these "firsts" by Russia.  Yet Russia has yet to land a man on the moon?  Why?  While people seldom hear about it, nor do they listen even if so, Russian Cosmonaut Boris Volynov has gone on record saying that he does not believe that Americans landed on the moon.  It seems he is far from the only one to think this way.  Indeed, it is doubtful he is the only cosmonaut to feel this way.
