I have heard that no Apollo astronauts who traveled to the Moon and returned 
fathered any children after returning to Earth. I would like to know if this is
just conjecture or was caused by their exposure to cosmic and solar radiation
because they were beyond the shielding effects of the Van Allen radiation belts.
Please advise me as to whether this conjecture is true or not. Thank you!
