Yes, Apollo Flew Through the Van Allen Belts Going to the Moon 

Even just normal every day uneducated people would know that's not a good idea.

Yea because why trust the same people that make cell phones, medicine, airplane travel, agriculture, cars, architecture, and military technology possible while you sit there and look down on them with no real scientific knowledge on any subject

They were not trying to remove the radiation belts. They were just testing nukes, that's all.

_Giggles_

They sure are scary sometimes

You would travel that far up the elevator. Just far enough to get orbital velocity, which would be below the inner belt.

KaptenKilt , given that a space elevator needs an anchor point down here, orbital velocity would be at 42,000km / 26,000miles geosynchronous orbit radius. (Way above the lower belt.)

+KaptenKilt Problem; The earthbound end of the elevator cable is stationary. Thus to reach in orbital velocity, you have to reach the hight of a geostationary orbit, which is about 10000 kilometers outside of the outer Van Allen belt.

Sry KaptenKilt, but by using such an elevator you'd only reach orbital velocity at about 36,000 km (GEO). That's farther up than the inner *and* in the middle of the outer belt. To answer the question: Humans simply can't practically use that elevator. At least not until low weight/highly effective shielding is invented or the belts get cleared of radiation. Both of which are insanely difficult to achieve, even after such an elevator could be built. So rockets it is. ;)

PETA said no to leather radiation belts

Only the ass side is radioactive

You are completely correct.

@Bobb Grimley You have to read All of the words to understand the context. "Apollo created no data about the effects of the Van Allen radiation on an iPad." This is an indisputable truth that you seem to want to find a way around. I am not ignoring "this obvious point" because it has nothing to do with my argument. The Apollo hoaxers like to make it seem that the Van Allen Radiation is so intense that astronauts would get microwaved and therefore we never went to the moon. The effects of radiation on the Apollo-era electronics do not directly translate to modern electronics and further study will need to be done on the next generation electronics using the data from the dosimeters.

@Bobb Grimley You as an individual do not have to do anything I or anyone else says. My point, which you seemed to have missed, is that all the words must be read by anyone in order to understand the context before making a response to the actual argument instead of what a cursory reading might suggest.

@vic demize A great representation of the quote. thanks for volunteering

Been there, done that. No, they don't have to figure it out _again,_ they have to figure out how to protect the ship from long missions where radiation can become a problem. And they have! You're going by old news, Orion's radiation protection was tested 8 years ago! Passed, too, with flying colors.

That's like an aircraft designer saying "the Wright Brothers figured out how to make a powered, heavier than air vehicle fly - now we gotta go figure out how to do it again for the Boeing 707". Well, duh!

@@Tim22222 go watch some more history channel dude, your critical thinking is gone. You think it begins and ends with a Van Allen belt it gets wackier or from there.

We went thru the belts with a spacecraft. Now we gotta figure out how a completely different spacecraft deals with the same belts. Strange? Suspectful? Well, I'm pretty sure that any new model of car is road tested before selling, even if countless of other models of cars were produced, tested, sold and driven on the same roads before. Amazing, isn't?

@@eventcone Your analogy is flawed. The Wright brothers didn't build a craft that has modern computers onboard. The Apollo computers were far less sensitive than modern computers. Are you arguing that technology hasn't advanced since the 60's?

@@coreyh5989 NO experiment know to man can produce flames in a vacuum, are you sure I'm the remedial one?

Don't forget cell phones! Those things will pop corn in your brain. /S

True, but cell phones emit microwave "radiation" -- that's non-ionizing radiation which might cause some heating, but won't rip apart your DNA like the ionizing alpha and beta particles, and high-energy gamma and x-rays.

Ayelmar Yup, ionizing is the key along with intensity. If cell phones could actually "cook" a brain, it should have already destroyed all of its circuitry.

If that's the case why did NASA worry about the belts and build this so call protective shield that she so eloquently mentioned you guys are really reaching but whatever floats your boat and Kelly didn't say that we have solve the problem just getting orion though the belts he said that they had to solve the problem before "we" they can send humans though so I'll take his word over yours!!!!

Because NASA didn't know for sure the effects of traveling through the belt until after the first Apollo missions. Also, the only form of radiation able to pass through the shielding of the command module is gamma and x-ray radiation, which is far less dangerous to tissue than alpha and beta radiation. This is because it passes straight through the body, unlike beta and alpha(if you were to ingest it). I'm sure none of the RU-vid videos you've watched ever bothered to tell you this.

I see what you did there.

So why haven't we went back.

Or just wear your power armor!

Robert Lamothe Our electronics these days are way more sensitive to interference, so makes sense.

Well, what he's saying is, "normal off the shelf micro conductor circuitry" isn't sufficient for deep space missions, and it is one of many "problems" (engineers tend to describe any job, or challenge as a "problem") that needs to be solved for the Orion to fly. We have after all sent plenty of robotic missions into space that use micro conductor circuitry before. It's not as if the Orion has an inherent design flaw, or is inherently inferior to Apollo (much as tech nostalgists would like it to, since it uses "that new-fangled computoor" equipment).

And, when he said "before we send people through this region of space", he meant that, if they send people and the [modern electronics] guidance system fails [because of the radiation], those people may die [not because of the radiation itself, but] because the craft would be lost and not able to return to Earth [before the crew died from asphyxia or something else].

Yes, I can confirm this is exactly how it happened! I know because I read it on the internet. Thank you, Batman and Alfred

Yeah... also, Orion plans to spend 6 months or more in deep space, not a few days. It's an entirely different problem. They are not really concerned about the Van Allen belts at all. They're concerned about long-term exposure to cosmic rays. They *deliberately* flew it through the belts to test it - five years ago. And it was fine.

NASA has the best technologists on the planet. Along with billions of dollars for funding. They could make new computers specifically for the belt. We can give Ukraine $200 billion but we can't give NASA $30 billion to go back to the moon? Could you imagine a Livestream from the moon

There is no "tech" that is needed for going to the moon that is outside of well-known aerospace technology of the 1960's. We still have the technology. Quite a bit of it is still actively in use every day.

@@ThatBoomerDude56 Peter Kosen my friend told me he travelled to the moon using only parts salvaged from his small garden shed. He said some of the parts he used was actually manufactured by nasa. I think my friend might be getting nasa equipment mixed up with Zanusi. I know, doesnt read or sound similar. He consumes a lot of acid though. He said he was not alone on his journey to the moon. He said he was accompanied by a female nordic type alien species. Again, im sceptical of this claim. As well as suspecting that rather than having built a craft capable of travelling to the moon and back, whilst on acid he has in fact merely climbed into his old broken industrial sized Zanusi washing machine that is stored in his garden shed, I also suspect that the nordic being who accompanied him on his journey to the moon was merely his fully accessorized blone and blue eyed life size sex doll which he chooses to store in the washing machine, away from the prying eyes of his girlfriend Brandeen. I personally dont know what to believe. I have emailed him requesting that he stop taking drugs when hes by himself but as he is such a filthy untrustworthy degenerate he is too unkept to visit my home, i wouldnt be seen in public with him as he would slurry my well maintained charachter. I visited his home one and couldnt actually see his carpet or furnishings due to strewn about rubbish and dirt. There was beasties crawling everywhere fer fuck sake. I had to throw all my clothes in the bin, burn them and get my neighbour to hose me down in my own front garden before I felt it was safe to go back in my own home. Will never go there again. Still, hes a really good mate and I dont want to hurt his feelings. Ive only went and accepted a limited one off return ticket to the moon when he offered me it. Fer fucks sake, i didnt have the heart to tell him that he maybe mentally ill, suffering from delusions and that I didnt want to visit his property ever again as it is infested with vermin and insects as well as probably many diseases. I didnt even mention that the ticket was a ripped up sheet of toilet paper where he has attempted to write on it with crayon. My loyalties are confused. I dont know if i should send him a letter telling him i cant go on the trip with him as I have a 2 week holiday booked in aspen and i have a fear of flying or whether i should pay for an experienced mental health professional to visit his home to asess him. There is also the personal scientific curiosity that the space vehicle he has built is indeed capable of travelling to the moon. As far as the nordic female i am 100% sure he is referring to his sex doll. No other woman, apart from his visually impaired, deaf girlfriend who has no sense of smell would ever want to be alone with him. Even if the female was from another planet.

Not only just mass, it was the fact that the components were much more analog in nature. It's like comparing vacuum tubes in a 1950s AM radio with a modern 2024 GPS NAV system in your new SUV

Law of Polaris -North Star- Because there is no rocket system powerful enough to get a manned mission to the moon in use today. The Apollo-SaturnV system was the only one in history powerful enough to do it, but the US Congress cancelled the program early and the system was retired. Without demand for it, the skills and manufacturing methods required to build it became obsolete and died out. There are rocket systems powerful enough to do the job in development right now. Their first crewed flights are due in early 2020s.

That wasn't the question this video was addressing. Conspiracy theorists always move the goal posts once the question of the moment gets answered. This tackled one such question. But to answer your question, nobody says we "can't" do the same thing today, only that we don't/won't. The rockets powerful enough to make these flights were decomissioned long ago. The US usually just buys seats on Russian rockets these days to send men into space. Maintaining the shuttle system was extremely expensive, so congress shut that down too. The government has been letting the private sector pour their money into building new protoype rockets & delivery systems, although NASA has been developing their next rocket system for future Mars missions. Keep in mind that in our infinite wisdom, NASA's budget is but a fraction of what it used to be. They're asked to do more with less, and with less general interest by the average citizen. Even when NASA sends probes, and rovers to other planets, people constantly whine "who cares?" and "what a waste of money" or "with $300 million you could feed X amount of people!" People tend to ignore all the benefits we've gained from space technology, and have a cynical & jaded view on achieving any new goals when they don't receive any instant or tangible gratification from it. Back during the years leading up to the moon landing, NASA's budget was over 4% of the total budget of the US for several years, with it hitting 4.41% at its peak. Today, the budget is only 0.4% of our budget...less than 1%. They also employed *OVER 400,000 PEOPLE* at their height in 1965, compared to just over 17,000 today... They also had triple the amount of employees, and were of huge national interest at the time, having the support of the country as a whole. Even though every dollar put into NASA averages about $10 back into the economy, people don't do the research or seem to care. If we suddenly had 4.41% of the federal budget going towards NASA again, instead of having $20 billion to work with, they'd have *$180.54 BILLION* instead. The amount of shit they could accomplish with that funding, or even half the staffing they had at their height, they could be sending people to Mars in the next few years.

RAD750 is still being used today. It is in the Perseverance rover (2020) and the James Webb Space Telescope (2021). This is not my field, but it does appear that the next generation radiation hardened processor (RAD5500, 45nm) is not being utilized as much and designers are still favoring the older RAD750.

The surface which was exposed to radiation would have burned off during reentry. There may still be ...some... elevated radiation levels coming from the piece of foil, but after so long it would be nearly impossible to tell it apart from normal background radiation. :D

Radiation isn't contageous. You could get a very small amount of captures creating a few atoms of some radioactive element, but aside from that it's not something that gets absorbed and sent back out later.

It seems common opinion as to the required shielding is either 6' of water, or 6" of lead. I have seen this plenty of times and not once was it challenged. NASA also stated they do not have the power to lift the added weight.

The radiation levels did not harm the astronauts...because they went there full stop! Irrefutable Proof from three gentlemen. TERRY VIRTS SPEECH. Well, that’s a great question. The plan that NASA has is to build a rocket called SLS, which is a heavy lift rocket. It’s something that is much bigger than what we have today, and it will be able to launch the Orion capsule with humans on board as well as landers or other components to destinations beyond Earth orbit. Right now we only can fly in Earth orbit, that’s the farthest that we can go, and this new system that we’re building is gonna allow us to go beyond and hopefully take humans into the Solar System to explore. So the Moon, Mars, asteroids... there’s a lot of destinations that we could go to and we’re building these building-block components in order to allow us to do that eventually. NASA ENGINEER SPEECH. Radiation like this could harm the guidance systems, on-board computers or other electronics on Orion," Smith says. "Shielding will be put to the test as the vehicle cuts through the waves of radiation… We must solve these challenges before we send people through this region of space."

Yes. Educate yourself about long term exposure to radiation. Radiation may not kill you instantly. It kills later. Radiation does and will cause cancer. Cumulative 1000 mSv will cause cancer for sure. And somehow none of the alleged people that spent time in space going to the alleged Moon and being on the alleged Moon never developed any cancer. You know why? Because no one flew to the Moon and no one ever landed on the Moon. Why is this bull shit since 1960's stil going around the World?

More likely we would never have been born! Our planet has had to sit in the flux of particle radiation from solar and cosmic sources for billions of years. Apollo astronauts popped outside of Earth's magnetic field for a few days. Bit of a difference.

Robert Wraith You do need to listen better. The belts would indeed kill us if we were in them for a sufficient time. Professor Van Allen estimated that a week in the inner belt would be fatal and that the outer belt is bigger but far less deadly. The Apollo ships were in the inner belt for about 15 minutes, and the outer belt for about two hours. The total exposure was around 1% of the fatal dose which is not a problem and is about the same as getting a abdomen and pelvic CT scan. So in order to die from the radiation the astronaut would need to go to the moon and back 100 times, or someone on Earth would need to have 100 CT scans. At no point did she say that there is not enough radiation to kill us, she said that by travelling fast the spaceship does not spend enough time in the radiation belt to accumulate sufficient exposure to kill the astronauts. It is the accumulation over longer time periods that is deadly.

Hahahahahahaha hahahahahahaha 😁

Absolutely right Alexander. The nasa engineer Kelly smith specifically mentions the belts could damage the guidance systems and onboard electronics.

Blu Cifer I’m not some moon landing denier but I’m not really buying this “computer damage” thing. Otherwise, what about all the other probes we’ve sent to Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, etc.

MisterLepton Weight constraints are dramatically more flexible when you don't have to provide a livable environment for passengers, or engines with enough thrust to get to the destination before the astronauts die. In those cases you can afford the shielding weight. Our probes moved far slower (years in transit) than is viable for human survival.

Alexander Tzalumen then we’ll just need to build a sufficient ship, piece by piece, in LEO.

MisterLepton Expensive, but doable. We'll build it one Tesla Roadster at a time.

Yes. And the test was performed in 2014, with no problems occurring...

Nice, I missed that. Better radiation shielding means modern electronics, which translates to lower power consumption. With the freed up resources we can do fun new things.

People are sensitive to radiation, too. Radiation may not kill you instantly. It kills later. Radiation does and will cause cancer. Cumulative 1000 mSv will cause cancer for sure. And somehow none of the alleged people that spent time in space going to the alleged Moon and being on the alleged Moon never developed any cancer. You know why? Because no one flew to the Moon and no one ever landed on the Moon. Why is this bull shit since 1960's stil going around the World?

@@ericephemetherson3964 Where did you get that number?

And under water.

A few weeks. Fortunately, they passed through them in a few hours.

@Shawn Lewis Van Allen himself stated that spending a week in the Space Shuttle in the most intense regions of the VARBs could be fatal. But as Ann said, they traversed through the belts in a matter of hours. And they only skirted them! On average, they left Earth at an angle of about 35 degrees to the equator, thereby avoiding the most intense radiation.

I'm 58! :-) The radio silence was not caused by the van allen belts, it was caused by the super-heated air (plasma) that surrounded the capsule during re-entry into the atmosphere. Nothing to do with radiation. And the transmissions from the moon were microwaves, not TV/radio. There's no reason at all that passing through the VAB should be a problem.

You didn't goto the moon because American aren't smart enough to get it done. The Soviets went to the moon though. They filmed it. They were gentle enough to give the films to the Americans to NASA, so that NASA could modify the films with Hollywood technology to make it look like a live broadcast of American astronauts rather than Russian cosmonauts. The Soviets allowed this because they knew America's ego is easily bruised, they knew America needs it. The Russians were that magnanimous just like they were magnanimous to take their nukes away from Cuba while allowing America to station its nukes in Kaiserslautern.

So much stupid in this thread. Given my own experience with Aerospace and Aeronautical engineering, just go look up how much lead protects you from radiation, then go research what the outer layers of the Apollo spacecraft were made of. Oh, then look at the windows and what they were made of, because you will find those were lead lined glass. Even when I went to Advanced Space Academy we practiced drills for if the sun released a mass ejection and we would be at risk, as there are special designated areas of the spacecraft with extra thick layers of lead shielding to protect astronauts aboard the ISS, and aboard the Mir when that was around. The video in question that keeps getting linked to her relates to the effect the radiation has on computer systems, as the computer systems we used in the 1960's were cathode, and the integrated circuits were larger. The modern microprocessors are more susceptible to ionized radiation and Electromagnetic pulses due to the complexity, and a modern ship like the Orion will be especially susceptible. Radios have crystals that need to be properly calibrated, and the more off frequency the less likely the signal gets through. Likewise any sort of clock that is required for properly timed firings of engines, thrusters, and the parachute has a quartz crystal in it, which can likewise be damaged by enough ionized radiation and get the timing off. This is what he was talking about.

Clyran One this is why some say "i would rather be red than dead in the head ...take a little trip back in time to the 1980's when the united states elected an old burnt out movie star for president of the united states of america . His name was Ronald Reagan . He had answers for everything . But never any correct answers .like " let no child be left behind". And another good one " just say no to drugsl So if a kid showed up on graduation day in a cap and gown , he or she got a diploma ..like the gal on jay leno , "jay walking" when jay ask her how many stars are on the flag flying above her head at her outdoor graduation and her answer was " i dont know , it's moving to fast to count them all " i done a little survey of my own a while back and found that my bar tender girl never heard of a war between the unites states and england ..simply because she was never taught american history in high school but she did graduate . Ask americans of ages 30 - 40 why we honor july 4th with fireworks displays ...they will tell you its to show respect to the manufactures of fireworks ...looks like they failed to invade area51 ...seems they all got wound up in las vegas at the pre-invasion party ! The one thing they know how to do ! Tell them the chinese landed on the moon over 5 years ago and a successful landing on the far side 3 days after new years of this year , and they will tell you that you are bat shit crazy . Now we got local collage students telling me that the earth is flat . I can remember when ronnie "ray gun" stood up to the russian president and said " mr.

Cause the united states doesn't really exist anymore since the opening of the federal reserve bank that is not a part of any banking system of any country's banking system , but it is owned by the royal family ..as it has been said many times before " the sun never sets on the Union Jack, never did and it never will!" look around you and think about it !!!

The Belt STARTS at 1 Thousand Miles...MORON!

CMOS is more susceptible than say TTL due to the fact that it can be damaged by lesser static discharge events. Which if happened the electronics are protected sufficiently. CMOS chips are very vulnerable when being handled out of circuit! Hey! are aeroplanes using cmos technology? I guess so, so how is radiation worse for CMOS than say TTL?

ChrisFE Jackson - Airplanes charge/discharge continually into the air, I think CMOS in space could more easily (than TTL) be fried by accumulation of charged particles, e.g. - "Space assets are continuously bathed by charged particles making their components susceptible to the effects of spacecraft charging. While their orbits are not embedded within the radiation belts, low earth orbiting assets with high inclinations do pass through the horns of these belts during each polar crossing, transiting through potentially dangerous charged particle populations many times per day. Occasionally, these low altitude horns include significant populations of energetic ~1 MeV electrons, which can penetrate typical spacecraft shielding and accumulate within dielectric materials and on ungrounded conductors, a process known as internal charging." ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/7930487/

Yes, by having static wicks on the wings. I personally think that for such static build ups, on 'spacecraft', only becomes an issue when the discharge event occurs. For example, I walk on a nylon carpet all day without affect until I come into contact with something that is either grounded or has a lesser static charge build up. Then I get the discharge event occurring which could be many KV 30 - 40+. Now if I am floating in free space through a highly charged field or I am generating charge by movement, I still have to have the discharge event to occur to cause damage, otherwise the charge build up would continue, to what level? well that is a thought and whole other explanation due to many factors, but such levels would also impact TTL devices just as much (Bipolar) as it would CMOS, because of the levels. Check out how the ISS or how NASA say they ground it out!! believe me I've looked into it and even their records and documents conflict!

ChrisFE Jackson, if you get a chance, check out the paper I linked to in the previous comment. It was just published in 2017, and the full text can be read for free. It is a study of the long term effects of highly charged electrons on POES and Metop spacecraft. From the paper: ""Of the hazards encountered by modern spacecraft, anomalies directly attributable to interactions with charged particles cover the range from recoverable to catastrophic failure of important systems (...) Environmental impacts to spacecraft include electrostatic discharge (ESD) from an accumulation of electrons (keV to MeV) on surface and internal components, single event effects (SEE) due to energetic heavy ions (MeV to GeV), and degradation due to total ionizing dose (TID). While spacecraft subsystems are designed to shunt charges away from susceptible components, if the electric potential from charge accumulation exceeds the breakdown voltage then an internal ESD (IESD) occurs, which can cause soft anomalies and permanent damage."

Hey Tom, I just had a brief overview of the page thankyou. Read the abstract etc. To me it is quite interesting (sad I know) but can see how the electronics and sub systems can be susceptible to such charges, especially where differing materials are used in close approximation to each other which may, as I'm sure you'll agree may allow for the ESD event to occur, due to the static build up upon differing materials. Again, the ISS if you look at all the differing materials used from plastic inserts to metal surrounds of interface, orbiting at an astonishing 17,500 mph in an environment which I assume is NOT a complete vacuum, the charges reaching the breakdown voltage of say CMOS channels and/or Bipolar junctions must be easily reached, I loosely state. However, it is only an issue when the discharge event occurs. So to prevent and monitor, they utilise Langmuir gauges to measure the density of the plasma field surrounding the ISS (or from their docs) around the solar arrays! Then there are the plasma control units (PCU's) that ionize xenon gas and eject out to neutralize the field, but these PCU's (two of them) are located on the Z1 truss of the ISS so presumably it covers the whole station and neutralizes the field as they move, perhaps. BUT, that is only for that finite time, move on a few seconds with respect to the speed and I'm sure the field must build up again & again. Given the fact that the station has been up there from the early 2,000's they must have sorted the heinous issues of ESD events from occurring, but offer up little information on how they actually do sort it continually. I do like this subject as you may be aware :) and have been involved in many projects relating to preventing ESD events from occurring to ensure the integrity of customers' systems over the long term. ESD events may not directly destruct components per say, but can stress the electronics leading to early 'life' failures. Given the time, it's a wonder how the ISS is not more troublesome, you would not get me on it, not now :)

Most were recovered. Or at least they tried to recover them. Sometimes it failed. Laika, the first dog it orbit, died when the air conditioning system failed, but that satellite wasn't planned to be recovered anyhow.

Tag...for the most part the animal testing occurred before any manned flights took place. Way way back even before the Gemini program. Check this out history.nasa.gov/animals.html. That ought to give you the answers to your questions.

Russia sacrificed a few animals by all accounts, that with the early test pilots, but i wont say anymore about that!

Most died, most still die today. There are test mice on ISS all the time for any number of tests and they almost never go back to Earth alive.

Ms....quite a few test mice on earth don't live long either. Besides Mice don't live long. They breed the way they do because they don't have long lifespans.

I believe the timing & specific destination dictated that they take a route more directly through the VA belts, through more radiation than the other missions.

Yes, it's almost double, but it's still a trivial amount. Radiation in space is a bit like the weather. It's not a fixed thing, it varies all the time. Sometimes it rains a lot, sometimes there's no rain for days. It's likely that there happened to be a bit more solar activity during that one. Nothing to worry about though. If there had been a really large solar event during a mission, they might have died. They were aware that such a random event was possible, but that was just one of the many high risks they accepted. Balls of steel.

Can't you google? Don Pettit, when speaking metaphorically about the tragic cancellation of the Apollo program.

The Saturn V cannot be re-used because it is a disposable launch vehicle, meaning the only parts that make it back to Earth intact is the command module, the astronauts, and the samples collected. That's what that worker meant.

A better question is, why do you think they wouldn't be able to get through? Can you show me your calculations, or point to a scientist saying they can't? No, of course not. You've been fooled by stupid conspiracy videos, that's all. The Van Allen belts are not a big problem, and never were. The only people who think they'd be "deadly" are idiots who misunderstand science. Sure, if you stayed in the most active part for weeks, they'd kill you. So they didn't do that. They passed quickly through the less active parts.

@Jan Bily Don't change subject. Tell me *why* you think the radiation would kill in that time. Show me your references.

I'll very happily discuss what Don Pettit said - *after* you respond to my questions about radiation. I want to understand *why* you think the radiation would have killed them. Show me how you've calculated it. I suspect you cannot show me. I think you've just heard it on some dumb conspiracy video by a piss-drinking yoga-teacher, and that it's based on nothing at all except personal incredulity. I wonder if you'll be mature enough to acknowledge that. I doubt it, as hundreds of previous comments below show that you folks normally run away when faced with logic.

Solar flares perhaps? Maybe we could look up sunspot activity for the days of the missions.

Looks like the data was skewed by a failed dosimeter. There was also a solar flare a week prior to launch.

Brad Scarp well there was a computer glitch that held up the landing for a while while they worked out a workaround. Maybe that was a contributing factor?

Brad Scarp I don't know, but I'd guess solar flare

Turns out golf balls act as a radiation amplifier. Damn shame...

Brand new systems in the Orion. Never been in space before. The stuff used in probes isn't up to the task of fulfilling the Orion's mission parameters so they've had to design new systems. These new systems had to be tested before sending the ship up with a person in it.

That's not really the point I was making. I was pointing out that if moon skeptics are cherry picking "electronics can't survive the Van Allen belts" from this unrelated video about a completely different project, then they must also be claiming that no probes have ever left earth's orbit regardless of the evidence.

Woops. I thought you were asking it as a question.

It's definitely worth remembering that technology evolves. I used to have a job where I would work with discarded technology to recycle or scrap it and I got ahold of some computers made back in the 1980s a few times. It reminded me how exciting these ancient PCs and first generation Macs were when we first saw them, and how satisfying it was to turn one on and get interesting results fast. Nowadays a typical computer has thousands of times the processing power and clock speeds, but we expect the computer to do millions of things "under the hood" that were simply undreamed of 30 years ago, and these things clog up the operating system and suck up all that power and jam up the speed, so that opening a file today can take much more time than it did on a Mac SE! This is partially because the file does a million times more things of course and is much larger. So it is that we rely on tinier and tinier micro components, and these are inherently more and more sensitive to a given level of disruption. Thus, radiation events that would not be noticed by Apollo's pre-silicon clunky electronics would wipe out entire chip sets today. Obviously if the Air Force expects a modern spy satellite to do its job they are looking into ways to harden the equipment, or use redundant systems to recover after the fact. The point is, modern astronauts and mission planners would be horrified to have to work within the limits of 1960s electronics, and yet the modern stuff we want is much more delicate versus space radiation. Therefore it is perfectly logical that a modern spaceship needs new levels of design attention one in the 1960s could let ride.

exactly. The Apollo missions got to the moon with the computing power less than that of a TI-83 calculator, They didn't have tiny electronic components on the spacecraft because the microprocessor wasn't even invented until 1971. They relied on large electronic components with wires all over the place, they had to manually change the configuration of the wires if they needed to reprogram the system. Back on earth, mission control was using pen and paper and giant tape drive computers. The Apollo missions had no sensitive electronics on board. They barely even had electronics on board. It was pretty much just a rocket with some wires inside. The most sensitive "electrical components" in the Apollo missions were the astronauts' nervous systems, which was already covered. They saw flashes of light from the radiation exciting neurons, but they had no lingering effects once back home. But we've already shown that we can send small sensitive electronic components through the Van Allen belts provided they are properly protected, since we've sent modern probes and rovers to Mars, Pluto, Jupiter, etc. since the 21st century.
