Who is this "we" you speak off?

...

There's a lot more that we don't know then we do know.

...

Since none of the Apollo missions travelled through that region of space that is a non-question.

Space is 3D, the Belts are belts.

Re: HOW did we get to the MOON if we didn't know about this??
all i can say is i've seen better cgi

the movie making technology from moon landing wasn't the greatest... no offense to stanley kubrick...

wouldn't fool a four year old these days.

the mountains are clearly fake, the lunar module blasting off looks hilarious to me...(btw, who took the foto of it blasting off, can i ask? the astronaut who stayed behind on the moon to film it, then flew home like superman??)

the neverending story movie had better cgi...


no, i don't know how ppl swallow it either, especially supposedly smart scientists, but they do...

maybe it takes an art-person like me to see that it's clearly crap

It is possible they sent a real mission only to find the crew dead, drifting endlessly in space once they hit that radiation belt.

First symptom would have been glitter vision (phosphene). The level of radiation they would have gotten is easily lethal in short time.

So give some numbers then. How much radiation EXACTLY would they have received with the trajectory they took around the majority of the belts?

you almost had a point until you revealed you don't understand orbital mechanics or multi-stage rockets. The Saturn V had the necessary delta-v to get to the moon. The math works. Just because you don't understand it doesn't mean it doesn't work.

The mission with the largest dosage was Apollo 14 with a dosage of 1.14 rads.

[link to lsda.jsc.nasa.gov]

Since 25 rad is the lowest dose to cause clinically observable blood changes it is safe to say the astronauts were not affected by their trip.

By the way,the belt only lasted around a Month and was attributed to a Solar Prominence/Filament Ejection.

But I'd still contend there are issues with aspects of the Apollo Mission...ie. The Camera Film Protective Containers were made of Aluminum only and did not contain any Water etc. to help shield from Gamma Radiation.

Aluminum would only block Alpha/Beta Radiation so the Film should have been shot.

It wasn't,apparently.

Have I misinformed myself about the Films Protection?

Could be wrong.

 Quoting: Just the facts!

Simple. It's not enough to be dangerous given Apollo's trajectory. It also does not suggest that the belts are more dangerous than we previously though; it was a temporary feature during a time when the outer belt was itself diminished.
"The shock wave scoured away much of the outer ring and then divided the remains into two distinct sections"
[link to www.scientificamerican.com]
That in no way implies a greater amount of total flux in the belts. In reality, there was a lower total flux during the period of time in which the new middle belt existed.

Here's the actual data from the probes. Part a. shows the normal, classic distribution of the van allen belts (what NASA would have expected in 1969):
[link to img831.imageshack.us]
Part b. shows a period of time where the outer belt had been depleted by the first shock wave, but at this point the distribution itself is still "classic" with a single inner belt and outer belt. Part c. shows the new distribution of the remaining electrons, which is now more diffuse and lower in flux than the classic distribution, but has a new gap within what used to be a single outer belt, thus there are now three belts instead of two. Part e. shows the annihilation of the outer belt region due to another shock wave. About a week later the distribution returned to the normal classic configuration seen in part a. due to another shock wave.

So no, not a problem for Apollo. If anything had this been the configuration of the belts during their departure for the moon or their return to earth, it would mean that they would have received even less of a dose than would otherwise be expected, and the normally expected dose given their trajectory and the areal density of their spacecraft (7~8 g/cm^2) was anything but dangerous:

you didn't answer the question. The amount in orbit is about the same as on the Moon. The old Corona spy satellites had no gamma protection. Gamma sources just aren't as common as you think they are.

You still need to prove radiation would have been a problem on the relatively short Apollo missions. You haven't yet.

Re: HOW did we get to the MOON if we didn't know about this??
And by the way - I haven't stated we did not go to the Moon.

If you were not so preoccupied with the Title of the Thread you'd maybe understand what I am trying to say.

Name check,yes.

You appear to be trying to argue the photos should have been damaged by radiation. The title asks how we got there if we didn't know about some belt (that we went around anyway). It was posted by someone else but you're on this thread. If you haven't stated it you're strongly implying it. Maybe others would understand what you're trying to say if you just came out and said it instead of trying to play games.

...


you didn't answer the question. The amount in orbit is about the same as on the Moon. The old Corona spy satellites had no gamma protection. Gamma sources just aren't as common as you think they are. The shuttle had to "occasionally" (wording used in your report) deal with high energy radiation mainly because over the course of many missions it dealt with far more radiation than Apollo did. You still need to prove radiation would have been a problem on the relatively short Apollo missions. You haven't yet.

You can google but I'll bet you don't understand it. It is talking about a very low flux rate that would be dangerous to long term missions and colonies due to cumulative exposure. Hilarious that you're trying to say they didn't go to the Moon and using data discovered because they did go to try to prove it.

You think I'm stupid.

You total plonker.
 Quoting: Spittin'Cesium


I didn't say that and I didn't think it. I do now. Typically those that resort to ad hominems do so because they have run out of everything else.

You still haven't answered how much gamma you think they would have been dealing with. Posting sources without comment just shows you can google.
