Fulltext PDFShould physicians join discussions on astronaut safety in manned missions to the moon? Recent discoveries prompt fundamental questions not only about astronaut safety but also about scientific integrity in science and medicine for diverse and converging evidence reveal data that contradict NASA reports about the Apollo moon missions from 1969 to 1972. For instance, the Apollo moon rocks do not match the moon samples retrieved by Chang E4. Also Curtin University moon rock analysis suggests Apollo samples were most likely from the earth. Safe Passage (2001), the Institute of Medicine report stated that manned flights to the moon were impossible because of unsolved health challenges. Also official reports confirm that the Apollo astronauts were not protected against heavy radiation for none of the materials i.e., Teflon nylon and aluminium can protect humans against radiation. Does scientific integrity matter? This question seems to be as fundamental as health hazards associated with future moon missions
