Boy it gets tiresome answering bone-headed misconceptions...
Alpha particles are the only form of radiation that can rightly be called 'nuclear' because they are fissioned particles of the nucleus of an atom: -protons and neutrons-. They are the only form of radiation that has the potential to 'knock' other protons and neutrons out of the nuclei of other atoms. Considering the fact that many of these particles pass all the way through the earth (from one side to the other), without hitting the nucleus of a single atom along the way, I think we can absolutely rule out the idea that a single sheet of paper would provide any protection whatever. Beta particles are free-flying electrons which have the power to ionize an atom (to knock electrons out of their host-atom), but aren't able to affect the nucleus. Again, a piece of paper offers hardly any more protection than a few feet of air would. As for gamma radiation, which is not made up of particles, but rather high frequency EM waves (in the terahertz range), you're right, a few inches of material is sufficient to block them out, so long as that material is metal.If you notice, almost every government around the world (either at the university level or from official scientific agencies), have expressed scepticism and posed unanswerable questions about the alleged lunar missions. The fact the Soviet Union has remained silent is not proof of anything -- though it could be an indication that our government and their's has an equal amount of dirt about each other's official lies, and have come to some sort of truce.   See 6 other replies

Yes, all 6 of the lunar missions were a hoax, so much so that the Soviets never saw fit to expose it despite every possible incentive to do so over the past 30 years.Since gamma radiation can be blocked by a few inches of material and alpha/beta radiation can be blocked by a piece of paper, if you remember your high school science education, the main concern is a sustainable vessel which can hold enough fuel, food, water, and air.   See 6 other replies

A mission to mars seems trivial and at best science fiction.   See 6 other replies
