No wonder you can't understand how people landed on the moon if you can't even understand simple English.

You have been busted again. Next time when somebody asks a straight forward question, offer a straight forward answer or don't answer at all; especially if a question was not directed towards you.
I asked, did any other Apollo mission go through the heart of the VA belts, every apollo supporter said No. Even after I have repeatedly said NASA has stated that at least one mission did.
...
So now, open up that biased, obtuse mind, for once, do your own research and find that simple statement NASA made about an Apollo mission going through the harshest part of the van allen belts. There is more than one source for it. Many have apollo supporters have even posted the documents on this very thread I believe.

I pointed out that BOB or Braunig, only plotted Apollo 11 and not the other missions. Without doing so he, nor anyone else, could know if any other mission ended up going through the heart of the van allen belts. I asked, did any other Apollo mission go through the heart of the VA belts, every apollo supporter said No.
Even after I have repeatedly said NASA has stated that at least one mission did.
And still, people here bring up BOB's one mission plot as their proof for every other mission. Sorry, thats not evidence! And thats lazy and silly. I never claimed that Apollo 11 went through the heart of the VABs, nor did NASA.

And where is that poster claiming that no major flares, or no X-class flares occurred during an Apollo mission.
He or she, and everyone else that still has that silly notion needs to come here and Appologize.

I was perfectly clear. I said Braeunig did the maths for Apollo 11, and provided the numbers for the other missions, and you are welcome to do the same for the others by following the same format.

Here's a clue for you: the mission that went closest to the heart of the belts was Apollo 14.

Wait... wait... are you now admitting that not all missions had the same trajectory?
Hallelujah! Congratulations!
But what do you mean "closest"?
Why don't you say right through it?

What do you mean "admitting"? For one thing, anyone who knows anything about Apollo KNOWS THAT, and for another, for the past two pages I have been showing you the ACTUAL trajectory elements. You have only just acknowledged the fact.
Here's another thing: in order to pass "right through" the heart of the belts, Apollo 14 would have had to be launched along the geomagnetic equator.
Once you've finished your little maths problem, you'll be able to tell us all whether it did or not.

what do you mean by "heart of the van allen belts"?? do you have hard boundaries for that?? is your definition of the heart of the van allen belt the same as everyone else? does everyone have the same definition of the heart of the VA belt??
why dont you define what you mean by the heart of the VA belt?? from where to where??

Why don't you just post the link you've been itching to post, and then explain what you think it means and why?
www.braeunig.us...
It took Apollo only about an hour to pass through the worst part of the radiation belts - once on the outbound trip and once again on the return trip.
We see clearly that Apollo 11 bypassed the most intense zones, instead skirting along the edges. Furthermore, in agreement with the electron belt overlay, we see Apollo 11 leaving the vicinity of the VARB after about 90 minutes.

If you have proof that a major or X class flare occurred during an Apollo mission then you are free to provide the evidence that they did.
You'll get an apology when you provide some evidence that you deserve one. I'm guessing neither of those things are likely to happen.

The worst part of the regions it crosses, of course.
Apollo 11 didn't cross the most intense parts of the WHOLE belt. Apollo 14 passed closer to the most intense parts, but still not THE MOST intense parts of the whole belt.
And in any case it had already been demonstrated that an Apollo craft could pass right through the most intense part of the belts and not exceed safe radiation doses.
That was kind of an important part of the mission planning.

What the... it passed the most intense region but not the most intense region?
Where do you come up with this stuff?
And where do you come with Apollo 14 passing close to the most intense regions of the belts, but not through most intense region?
And are you going to finally admit that not all Apollo flights took the same trajectory?
It also has been demonstrated, that based on dosimetry data, Apollo 7 took
a round trip to the moon.
