Will the Earth's Tail Fry Moon Visitors?

Roland Piquepaille writes "Researchers working for NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter mission have discovered that the Earth's magnetic tail could be harmful to future astronauts. The moon stays inside Earth's 'magnetotail' for six days every month — during full moon. This can have consequences ranging from lunar 'dust storms' to strong electrostatic discharges, according to one researcher quoted by NASA in 'The Moon and the Magnetotail.' So far, this is pure speculation: no man has been on the moon when the magnetotail hits. As added the same scientist, 'Apollo astronauts never landed on a full moon and they never experienced the magnetotail.' But read more for additional details about how Earth's magnetotail could affect men on the moon."

The space race did cost _a lot_ of money, making the superpowers basically bankrupt. Maybe they just wanted to end it?

The Fox documentary was after all Fox, the channel of all lies, but not so long ago, NASA said they had misplaced/lost the original photos of the lunar landing. That's just too much.

Besides, the reason for the Vietnam war was fake, as for the Iraq war, so why would this be different?
