So you're telling me that if I got hit by just one of those nasty 50 MeV particles I'd be a goner? No? If not one, then how many? Show your work. I don't have the exact figures to hand, but I know that some of these particles in certain circumstances, can be dangerous. Now I know that the Van Allen Belt particles are not like X and gamma rays, they don't need sheilding by heavy metals, as you'd need in a hospital radiotherpy chamber or nuclear powerplant. But they still can cause damage depending on their intansity. I'm sorry I don't have the exact figures now, but I have them and I'm looking for them. Dont hold your breath!!!!!! Hes been telling me that now for well over 10 years. Its round his dads house or so he says.

But we can use it to ascertain that those first explorers could have made the trip safely. THAT is the point. You seem to be hung up on this idea that we knew nothing about the radiation in space before sending men out there, but that's just crap. Not nothing at all, no. But we have to see things from the political and media perspective. Columbus and Magellan didn't have TV cameras on board their ships, the success and failure of their missions wasn't a crucial lynchpin of their nations dominaence of the globe (That came later and there's some VERY interesting stories relating to fake expeditions on Earth centuries before we got out into space. ) Oh, the Russians! Thereby hangs a tail! Not nothing at all, no. ? Well Hagbard why did you post whats below on another forum a few days ago? Posted by Hagbard Celine on his own forum Wed Feb 02, 2011 3:15 pm:

the Van Allen Belts could have caused a problem to astronauts using the technology that history tells us was available, ie: the Saturn V rocket and Apollo capsule. OK, enough of the "could have", let's have some specifics. Given the trajectory and speed of the Apollo spacecraft through the Belts, give us an estimate of the amount of exposure the astronauts could be expected to have received, and explain how the well-documented construction of the Apollo Spacecraft would have been inadequate to protect the crew. +1

Ive had years of experience with Hagbardceline and can say he will just throw out one claim after another and when the claim gets a bit sticky he just changes the subject. He uses stock responces like "its round my dads house" and "ive already covered that".
