Jack, one thing I noticed I wanted to comment on was the sentence you wrote
that I have repeated below, "Van Allen didn't think so." I believe Robert
gave us the website where there is a direct quote from Van Allen saying he
thought the belts were entirely passable.
http://www.clavius.org/envrad.html
I'll repeat the quote from that link here:
"The recent Fox TV show, which I saw, is an ingenious and entertaining
assemblage of nonsense. The claim that radiation exposure during the Apollo
missions would have been fatal to the astronauts is only one example of such
nonsense." -- Dr. James Van Allen
So I think we have to adjust this argument.
Sincerely,
Gary Shelton

> Van Allen didn't think so. Why does the x-ray machine operator have to
operate the machine from behind a lead shield. The exposure is only a second
or two. How many seconds are there in 1.5 hours (the time it would take to
clear the Van Allen belts)? I would suggest that if a radiographer was
exposed for that length of time she would be very sick. Bill Kaysing
suggested in his video that if the space suits were that good then they
ought to be able to go in and clean up 3 Mile Island and I would say or even
Chernobyl!
