My burden of proof is
Your burden of proof is to demonstrate your claim is true.
You claimed space travel is impossible as we cannot pass the Van Allen Belts.
As such the burden of proof is on you to back up your claim.
Just why can't we pass the Van Allen Belts?
I don't claim people can't pass the Van Allen belts. NASA astro'NOTs are saying it. It is not a claim, it is a fact. You can not pass the radiactive belts by wrapping in aluminum foil that we use to cook chicken. Prove the opposite. Jump in a radiactive environment by wrapping yourself to aluminum foil then it means a "scientific claim". Otherwise you have to stop your childish claims baselessly.
NASA engineer admits they can’t get past the Van Allen Belts by Seb Menard
Your video is a useless distortion of the facts!
No one says that astronauts cannot pass through the
Van Allen Belts just that the new shielding in the new Orion spacecraft must be tested!
Trial By Fire: Moon Landing Deniers Fail Test of Reason by GreaterSapienClaims of "You can not pass the radiactive belts by wrapping in aluminum foil that we use to cook chicken" are ridiculous.
No one ever said that you can "pass the radiactive belts by wrapping in aluminum foil that we use to cook chicken."
The radiation in the VABs is particulate radiation in the form of electrons (β radiation) and protons.
Why Aren't The Van Allen Belts A Barrier To Spaceflight?
The problem with the Van Allen belts lies not in them being impassable, but in the charged particles they contain.
Charged particles are damaging to human bodies, but the amount of damage done can range from none to lethal, depending on the energy those particles deposit, the density of those particles, and the length of time you spend being exposed to them.
And then:
ENVIRONMENT: radiation and the Van Allen Belts
Metals can be used to shield against particle radiation, but they are not the ideal substance. Polyethylene is the choice of particle shielding today, and various substances were available to the Apollo engineers to absorb Van Allen radiation. The fibrous insulation between the inner and outer hulls of the command module was likely the most effective form of radiation shielding. When metals must be used in spacecraft (e.g., for structural strength) then a lighter metal such as aluminum is better than heavier metals such as steel or lead.
The notion that only vast amounts of a very heavy metal could shield against Van Allen belt radiation is a good indicator of how poorly though out the conspiracist radiation case is. What the conspiracists say is the only way of shielding against the Van Allen belt radiation turns out to be the worst way to attempt to do it!
Now there is one person who might just might know a lot more than you and I about the Van Allen Belts and that is
Professor James A. Van Allen himself!
Dear Mr. Lambert,
In reply to your e-mail, I send you the following copy of a response that I wrote to another inquiry about 2 months ago --
Ø The radiation belts of the Earth do, indeed, pose important constraints on the safety of human space flight.
Ø The very energetic (tens to hundreds of MeV) protons in the inner radiation belt are the most dangerous and most difficult to shield against. Specifically, prolonged flights (i.e., ones of many months' duration) of humans or other animals in orbits about the Earth must be conducted at altitudes less than about 250 miles in order to avoid significant radiation exposure.
Ø A person in the cabin of a space shuttle in a circular equatorial orbit in the most intense region of the inner radiation belt, at an altitude of about 1000 miles, would be subjected to a fatal dosage of radiation in about one week.
Ø However, the outbound and inbound trajectories of the Apollo spacecraft cut through the outer portions of the inner belt and because of their high speed spent only about 15 minutes in traversing the region and less than 2 hours in traversing the much less penetrating radiation in the outer radiation belt. The resulting radiation exposure for the round trip was less than 1% of a fatal dosage - a very minor risk among the far greater other risks of such flights. I made such estimates in the early 1960s and so informed NASA engineers who were planning the Apollo flights. These estimates are still reliable.
Ø 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.
