The document didn't refer to aluminum as pure, and I told you this was the aluminum I cited..
They would know if Apollo was built of aluminum, in whatever form, or forms, used...
Whatever formed the Apollo craft, it worked superbly...or so you claim...
You claim Apollo used an alloy of aluminum, not pure aluminum.
The paper is referring to aluminum, in pure form...they don't say it is pure, you just assume it is, anyway..
Apparently, they are saying aluminum intensifies radiation in deep space, and saying that aluminum won't be used to shield humans in deep space, while completely ignoring the 'fact' we used aluminum as an alloy, not pure aluminum, nor as a radiation shield!!
Good one!!

The paper is trying to find materials that will shield humans in deep space.
You say they are only referring to long missions, though..

but you believe only pure aluminium is bad the alloy is fine because its an alloy its completely different.
according to YOUR INTERPRETATIONS of the reports (cause thats all that matters no one else does)
the experts use of the word aluminium is related to pure aluminium. you have clearly stated this for everyone to see, and it is this pure aluminium which shall not be used in future manned spacecrafts.

You don't get it.
If Apollo was built of cardboard, or rice paper, or aluminum alloys, and was not pure aluminum..
It worked, superbly...
You suggest the experts know Apollo worked, with these materials, without pure aluminum, for short stays in deep space...
They have all the materials which work, and proven to work, but prefer to discuss a material will not
work, which we never used, or needed to use anyway, and you see nothing wacky about that??!!
These experts would mention WHAT WORKS, being IT WOULD HAVE PROVEN TO WORK...
And if it didn't actually work, they ignore it, as they did in their paper, and many others have done, too.
Do the experts really support the Apollo missions as genuine, or do they treat them as any other fake would be treated?
That's the point, here.

Define 'deep space'.
is this somewhere you can get to quickly?
Still waiting for your answers:
When would the Apollo astronauts have received their fatal dose of radiation?
Why was the Apollo spacecraft not up to the job of landing on the moon and returning?
How is it that any image of Earth, be it live TV, 16mm or still photography, shows exactly what it should do in terms of the configuration of land masses, terminator and weather patterns?
How is that Indian, Chinese, Soviet and Japanese probes all provide images that corroborate those taken by Apollo in terms of the details in them not known prior to Apollo, and in the case of India and Japan evidence of human activity?
And a shiny new question for you to avoid: How did amateur astronomers in the UK capture images of Apollo 8 on its way to the moon?

Our technology shows images from Earth orbit showing details of small objects, and through the atmosphere, unlike for any lunar images.

yes because there simply was not enough exposure to GCR's for it to be impossible as you want it to be.
unless you want to start showing everyone here how bad the GCR's are beyond the VAB that is contrary to what is published???
you need to remember here, you are the one who believes/believed that the papers were talking about pure aluminium, you were also the one who believes/believed that the entire Apollo Command Module and Lunar module consisted of pure aluminium ONLY.
These experts would mention WHAT WORKS, being IT WOULD HAVE PROVEN TO WORK...
these experts have proven that Aluminium does work, just not as well as they want for long duration missions. but thats just my interpretation.
your intepretation is somewhere along the lines of pure aluminium cannot at all protect humans from GCR's, and therefore will never be used in future manned deep spacecrafts as well as never be used in past manned deep space crafts.
but aluminium alloy is ok, because its an alloy.
so by treating something as fake it would be study a material that is completely different to what was used????
so like if an expert wanted to prove that titanium golf clubs were a hoax they would test golf clubs made from wood only and you would believe to the point that you would argue with people for several years??

A genuine mission would be treated very differently than a faked mission, for sure...
The subject of this paper is how to protect humans against radiation in deep space, for long missions to Mars, etc.
At that point, we might expect they have defined a long mission as a period of time, a minimum duration..
They don't define a long mission, as a period of minimum time, in days, or weeks, or months...
They only say a long mission would be more hazardous than a shorter mission. And they are looking for how to protect humans on such missions..
Now, if we have done short missions, we would know the materials which protected humans..
These materials worked. Nobody ever said they worked only for a week, or so. Not as I can recall, anyway...
And now, there seems to be a time limit of a week, or so, to the Apollo craft..
Apollo data is not even used in the paper..
originally posted by: choos
they are looking at keeping absorbed dose to below acceptable YEARLY levels.
except you dont need any material to protect against GCR's when you are planning on staying for 2 weeks or less..
again according to you.
in reality the materials used worked well enough for the Apollo mission. they performed as intended, majority of the danger is from the sun and the VAB not from GCR's

You don't know the reality, nor do I, nor does almost anyone else, either...
We are not there to know the reality, so we have to look to their actions, statements, etc., and compare it to the official Apollo story
So when you claim humans don't need to use radiation shielding in deep space for a 1 or 2 week mission, you are trying to fit in the Apollo story..
You say a week or 2 in deep space is fine, but anything longer is not safe, and that's what they're referring to in the papers.
They don't ever say it's safe for a week or 2, but we all know it goes without saying, of course!!
Knowing what works for a week or 2, they don't say anything about what made it work, for a week or 2, nor say why it wouldn't work for more than 2 weeks..
It is so nice to know what they don't say is 'reality'..
You haven't addressed the problems yet...
Papers that seek out materials to protect humans in deep space for only long missions would actually state it in their paper, if they meant it only applies to long missions..
They would exclude short missions in their statements, as well, if they meant to exclude them..
Aluminum was discussed as a poor shield in deep space, while alloys of aluminum were used in Apollo craft, there is no reason to ever mention them..
originally posted by: turbonium1
They are trying to develop adequate radiation shielding for future deep space manned missions.
Aluminum is cited as a potential shielding material, but they say it actually intensifies the hazard, and can't work as a shield, for that reason...
You suggest they are only concerned with long term missions, and aluminum was not used to shield Apollo craft, and Apollo was only built of an alloy of aluminum, not pure aluminum, which they are referring to in the paper.
They never mention any of your claims, in the paper.
You still say Apollo's missions were all genuine, but short, and didn't need radiation shielding, so they aren't relevant to this paper...
Pure nonsense!!
Assume you are right about short missions, being done by Apollo craft, no shielding required...
It would still not be ignored!!
They will know short missions are proven to work, with specific materials, up to a specific period, at least.
That is the first thing to point out!!
Ignoring it is totally absurd

The probes from other countries show the same little dots and blobs as NASA images, which is not proof of any kind.
Indeed, it only goes to support the hoax argument, if anything..
Our technology shows images from Earth orbit showing details of small objects, and through the atmosphere, unlike for any lunar images.
The first excuse was that we didn't have the technology for close-up detailed images of the landers, or anything else
When it was shown that we do have the technology for such images, the excuse was that nobody saw it worth doing.
All the images we now have are good enough, anyway. No scientific interest, and no scientific benefits to spend so much money on it...
No image shows how the lunar environment has altered the landers, over decades...
There are no scientists who see any benefit from this knowledge, obviously!
As if..
