Can humans travel past the Van Allen Belt?

Almost all radiation will be received while passing the inner belt. The Apollo missions marked the first event where humans traveled through the Van Allen belts, which was one of several radiation hazards known by mission planners.

Does the Moon have radiation?

They found that radiation levels on the Moon’s surface are 200- to 1,000-times more than that on Earth’s surface – and 2.6-times more than what astronauts onboard the International Space Station (ISS) are exposed to.

Did Apollo pass through the Van Allen belt?

The Van Allen belt and the Moon flight Some sceptics, who claim that man has never reached the moon, say that man can not pass this belt because of the strong, fatal radiation for him. But there are some answers given by scientists. They claim that Apollo passed through this belt fast, astronauts being exposed for only a while to radiation.

Do the Van Allen Belts have radiation?

Nowadays the levels of radiation in the Van Allen Belts, as I said already, are known, and the level of shielding required for humans to pass through the Van Allen Belts is also known. These are now scientific facts.

Why did we never go to the Moon?

And NASA themselves are announcing that “We Never Went to the Moon” when they tell us that “we will not be able to embark on future manned space flight until we can solve the radiation problem.” So the radiation problem was not solved in the 60’s and therefore space flight was not possible in the 60’s. NASA is admitting this openly.

Why did NASA send astronauts to the Moon through the belts?

For the Apollo trips, we wanted to send the astronauts through a sparse region of the belts, and to try and get through them quickly. This was necessary in any case; the crafts had to make it to the Moon in a reasonable amount of time, and the shorter the trip, the less exposure to all sorts of radiation the astronauts would get.
