I don't believe man has ventured beyond low earth orbit. Change my mind.

Your position is one of ignorance. I was hoping to interact with people capable of understanding radiation and it’s effects but you are convinced that because it was on TV then it must be real. If you can explain the radiation discrepancy then please do so otherwise peddle your crap elsewhere.

This is a well known conspiracy theory that has been comprehensively debunked.

All the above copiously referenced in the Wikipedia article.

I recall a long tedious thread on here fairly recently where the poster repeated exactly the same hoax claim in a very similar terms. OP on that occasion kept stubbornly repeating this radiation figure, had no actual interest in facts or evidence.

You shouldn’t. It might require you to miss Fox News and further indoctrination.

LOL. You have no clue what I think about Fox “News”.

I have a simple question for you. Can Aluminum shield Galactic cosmic radiation? Can Aluminum shield high energy proton radiation?

There’s also been a half century of evidence that man landed on the moon.

I’ve been trying to find it. No luck.

Do they? Was this reported somewhere we could read it?

I am curious your motives to post here because you clearly have no desire to learn more or be convinced otherwise as you stated.

I could tell you that the men of Apollo were generally exposed to less than 1 rad due to the trajectories used that bypassed the inner belts completely because the radiation levels are not constant and consistent and the more dense areas could be - and were - avoided. But any cite or information provided whether it is from NASA or Popular Science will be viewed as evil government propoganda and part of the coverup.

So why are “asking” for any evidence when you have no desire to even consider it? Your mind is made up so just go on believing that over 1 million people - including the USSR - helped create and/or hide this grand illusion for one of the crazy hoaxer reasons or another.

You clearly have only read - or considered - information that makes this ridiculous conspiracy true in your myopic view and that is your right, go post your flawed and delusional thoughts to the flat earth folks, they will eat it up and you will feel right at the home. Sane people are not your best audience.

Cite:

There has been a half century of deception and indoctrination. It has been even longer since Kennedy was assassinated and yet the lies continue. Christianity is over two thousand years and it lives on. Go figure.

It’s easy to prove you wrong. What’s tough is getting you conspiracy theorists to admit it, as you’ve bought into half-truths heart and soul and hate to admit it. But here’s your answer:

You are like the person who just saw a magic trick. You abandoned your belief in science and logic and accepted the trick as fact. If a thing cannot be then it isn’t. Using recent data show me that it can be done.

Strange thing to dump a few billion dollars a year into blowing up people in spectacular ways, for a few decades, if you don’t think you can keep them alive once you get them up there.

You’re presupposing that a bunch of average aeronautic engineers and scientists are all so morally corrupt as to recruit these people and either refrain from telling them, “Best case, we disintegrate you in a giant fireball trying to get you up there. Worst case, we get you up there just to have you die in a few hours or minutes, just the same as if we stuck you in a giant microwave.” Or keep it a secret that, that’s the case.

How exactly do you find a large body of people willing to do that?

But more important, how much radiation are you supposing the Sun throws out? You can test radiation and shielding here on Earth. You can do it yourself, presumably, and arrive at a factual result.

The problem with your logic is it can’t be repeated in the 21st century. Every probe, every mission into and beyond the VAB indicates a much higher exposure. Did something change?

You don’t have to find people willing to sacrifice their lives only their integrity. You don’t have to calculate radiation in space (Solar radiation is not the only space radiation), it has already been empirically determined. You only have to do the calculations.

Interestingly, I came across this (pdf) document from 1973, the gist of which is that beyond-Earth radiation is not really a problem unless there are solar flares, when it becomes a genuine though not automatically lethal hazard. The crew of Apollo 14 got the worst exposure and, perhaps not coincidentally, all three men are dead, though only one specifically of cancer.

Well, the incidence of solar flares might be higher now than in 1969-1974. I don’t know why we’d assume the level of radiation must be constant.

Which other missions or probes are you speaking of? Please be specific.

He lists a few in post #20. Whether or not they support his conclusion remains to be seen.

Impossible. Moon hoaxers don’t want to have their minds changed. They just want to be proven right.
