Re: Earth without the Moon ....
One of the many unanswered questions concerning the moon landing, a NASA spokesman said they managed to get through the Van Allen radiation belt because the astronauts had special space suits on, the questioner than asked if they had these special suits back in the 1960’s why didn’t they lend a couple of them to the Japanese when they had the nuclear plant disaster in the 2011, they could have just walked in and turned the thing off. No answer, dismissed as another crank question from the conspiracy camp.I wouldn’t mind hearing an answer to that one meself, seems they could get through radiation millions of times greater than anything we could ever have on Earth 46 years ago wearing special suits yet we have to let nuclear plants burn out by themselves as we daren’t go near them for fear of exposing ourselves to radiation in 2011, funny old world aint it.

Re: Earth without the Moon ....
Van Allen radiation is made from charged particles and not gamma radiation as you could find in a nuclear event. The exposure of Van Allen radiation to the Apollo astronauts was less than the safety levels given by the US Energy Commission, largely due to the screening in the craft's hull. Hence the perception that the question was 'crank'. Not sure where you get this 'millions of times greater' value from, because its not true.

Jongegeszellen sounds like a Dutch/German word for bachelor.
Am I correct?

Yes, your interpretation is correct.
I also trim my hair on the night of the full moon.

I usually trim mine when I think it's getting too long.

I don't know what a 'Buffalo Girl' is but it seems they come out to dance in the moonlight, as the song says."Buffalo gals, won’t you come out tonight?
Come out tonight, come out tonight?
Buffalo gals, won’t you come out tonight,
And dance by the light of the moon"
