the numbers which say that in order to bring exposure to GCR's down to acceptable ANNUAL limits would require about 40-50g/cm^2 of aluminium.. your own article says that, i just cant remember the exact number.

If so, then explain why they say aluminum is a poor shielding material within deep space, and may even intensifies the hazard, therefore, no future craft will be built with aluminum shielding?
Didn't they say aluminum would work as a shield, at that specific thickness, in deep space?
You want to explain that?
The "wealth of data" was completely ignored, in their own research papers.
Why would they ignore it, then?
Because they know it is NOT 'genuine' data, obviously...

Make up your mind, was it completely ignored or not? If it was referenced, it wasn't ignored.
Context is key: what were they referring to when you claim they 'ignored' the Apollo data?

the reason they gave of why is in the article..
you think that putting 50g/cm^2 of aluminium spacecraft hull is a simple feat do you?

I'd also like to see Apollo's GCR measurements in deep space.
They measured it, right?
So they'd certainly have the GCR data available, right?
I'd really like to see it...

You think aluminum would shield humans in deep space, and only its thickness is the problem?
They say aluminum is a poor shield in deep space, and perhaps worse than before, right?
Where do they say aluminum is also a good shield in deep space? Do they say aluminum is a good shield, when it's a certain thickness?
If aluminum is a poor shield, when does it transform into a good shield?
Show me where they mention a poor shield that is also a good shield if it's thick enough, because I'd love to see it!!

Prove it was ignored.
Your interpretation is that it was, but your interpretation is one thing, reality and actual fact are different things entirely.

They say aluminum could intensify the radiation.
So they don't know how much worse it actually becomes,
while claiming to know that it really would work great at a certain thickness, anyhoo!!
its actually in reference to global temperatures and you have deliberately changed
uh-huh

They repeatedly state aluminum is a poor, even worse, shield in deep space.
No craft will be built with aluminum shielding in future, for deep space manned missions, in fact.
You insist they don't mean ALL missions in deep space, when nobody said it, or implied it, at any time.
Somehow, it MUST be what they meant, but merely forgot to mention it, no big deal, everyone knows that anyway, there's no need to actually 'say' it!
Nice try.
