Wanted to start a thread, but GLP works quickly today (When it's not down.) It's rather awesome that we discovered a new belt. Perhaps it can protect us from some cosmic rays or something. Not very good at what exactly those donut thingies in space do. If any foreign minister begins to defend to the death a "peace conference," you can be sure his government has already placed its orders for new battleships and aeroplanes. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 2836766 United States 03/01/2013 08:54 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yeah apparently we need some more of that space age late 60's technology! What happened to us - did we just forget how to do stuff - I mean it's obvious that the computers we have now are shit compared to late 60's tech what with how they were able to program, pilot, land, blast off, re-couple and return to earth using total computing power of less than that of the average smartphone. Hell, they even beamed back live coverage of the landing and take-off from the surface of the moon (I kinda feel sorry for the camera man who was left behind and is unknown and unsung in the history of our illustrious space program) while today we STILL get dropped cellphone calls and there is a patchwork of no cell coverage areas across the U.S. Ditto with the micro meteorite defying anti radiation playtex space suits that could go from 253 F (123 C) in full sunlight to -243 F (153 C) in the shade without so much as any loss of surface plaibility or suit integrity let alone any noticeable discomfort to person wearing the suit. Man these are the new dark ages. (My thanks to Dave McGowan for his Wag the Moon Doggie Series! Look it up if you haven;t read it!!) |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1767782 United States 03/01/2013 10:05 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The explanation is here: The data sent back to Earth from the REPT instruments during the month of September initially showed two Van Allen belts, as expected. But after a few days, the outer ring appeared to compress into an intense, tightly packed electron band and a third, less compact belt of electrons formed further out, creating a total of three rings. The middle "storage ring" persisted as the belt furthest away from Earth began to decay away in the third week of September, until, finally, a powerful interplanetary shockwave traveling from the sun virtually annihilated both the storage ring and the rest of the outer belt.

So, if we didn't know about this, what else don't we know about? [link to science.nasa.gov] ...and how could we get through it safely on our way to the moon??
