Solar protons spiral around magnetic fields, which include the

they're not all the same energy, they end up coming from different
directions. It's been ages since I've looked at any of the data (which is
all in old papers, not in easily accessable electronic form), but as I
recall, the flux is about 50% isotropic, with a wide directional peak in one direction (not necessarily directly toward the sun-- the trajectories are curved). So, while it's omnidirection in the sense radiation of coming from all directions, it's not uniform intensity in all directions.
The highest energy (and hence the most damaging) particles curve the least, though.
There's undoubtably better data around now-- what I had was pretty old, and is probably superceded by better information (and better models).

As I suspected, most of the energy of a CME comes from sun-ward. The particles impinging from other angles would be of lower energy. Mr. Landis also points out in his e-mail that there were no CMEs during the Apollo missions... but we all already knew that, right FoosM?

Nicely done DJ. Another dry hole for Foos.
Well Foos, are you done now with this issue? You source has contradicted you. How much more proof do you require?

We were tossing around the issue and this seems to confirm their conclusions.

whats this? TLI?
This is common knowledge.
Im looking for the trajectory, the actual path, the points plotted.
Where is that?
It just gets funnier!!! There's a sort of hilarious irony amongst this... which I'll come back to in a second..
First, for anyone new to orbital mechanics.. may I briefly explain?
(I may get shot for this by the purists, perhaps, but nevertheless...)
Orbital mechanics, when you boil it down to the absolute bones, provides a series of ellipses - the spacecraft will be on one elliptical* path (that would be.. an ORBIT!!), and then it is boosted by a rocket blast (the Trans Lunar Injection (TLI), in this case) into another elliptical* path (another ORBIT), and so on until it gets where it is supposed to. Each of those ELLIPSES is pretty simple to define. The numbers that FoosM was pointed at ARE those numbers. They define the ellipse. They ARE the trajectory! FoosM hasn't the first clue about this stuff! And yet he is still trying to argue???
Anyway, I was referring to the irony..
Earlier FoosM was desperately after the 'top-down' version - in 2D - of the trajectory - embarrassingly he then realised he was.. er.. looking at it.
NOW, when he is presented with what is, a 2D set of simple numbers (the ellipse is in fact on a 2d plane - you simply need the inclination to have it fully defined in 3D), he doesn't recognise it. Absolutely no idea.
Delicious, strawberry-coated irony.
If I was a denier, I would now be demanding FoosM be put off the team...
* - or parabola/hyperbola - I'm just tryin' to keep it simple..
Thanks, it only proves that what I stated I stated correctly.
And those who laughed look like fools.
Particles trapped in the Earth's magnetosphere are isotropic due to their spiraling around the lines of magnetic flux. I'm not sure if the particles in a CME would necessarily behave the same way. If they do, I will stand corrected.
You guys crack me up.
You're not adding anything but air to do this thread.
I think thats your mission, to derail it to the point of no return.
You think any of the readers really care if I screw up on a few points.
The VABs in those diagrams, I have said countless of times, and nobody can dispute it, are wrong in size and scope. You (Chrlz) stated that NASA has published a trajectory of Apollo and have produced nothing.
Glass of the CM and LM windows, nobody as of yet has proven it could block any radiation of any kind.
Nobody has been able to dispute JWs or anybody else's figures on how many major flares were produced by the sun during the missions and how much radiation would have slammed Apollo with on the moon or in space.
You cant even provide the information when NASA would warn astronauts that a flare is coming and how they can determine if its a major flare or not.
A system of solar-monitoring stations, the Solar Particle Alert Network (SPAN), provides a NASA-sponsored network of continuous data on solar-flare activity. SPAN consists of three multiple-frequency radio telescopes and seven optical telescopes. The network gives data for determining the severity of solar-particle events and the resultant possible radiation hazards to crewmen. After the appearance of particles is confirmed onboard a spacecraft, protective action can be taken....
In terms of hazard to crewmen in the heavy, well shielded Command Module, even one of the largest solar-particle event series on record (August 4-9, 1972) would not have caused any impairment of crewmember functions or ability of the crewmen to complete their mission safely. It is estimated that within the Command Module during this event the crewmen would have received a dose of 360 radsto their skin and 35 rads to their blood-forming organs (bone and spleen)....
You have the resources of NASA and all the scientists in the world...

Umm... no Tom. I was not contradicted, my statement was confirmed. You got it backwards again. Nice try.

the moon jump done at the national space centre in the UK. What better proof is there than doing it yourself.

If its dangerous for him to fall, then why is he hopping?
How can he control that he doesn't go too high?
Or land in a crater and break his leg?
So fake.

Back to the CFI
Why do you suppose JW has to use the 100 rem/hr number?
Where is NASA's data on the flares?
Where are their REM measurements?
Your just complaining that JW used 100rem/hr.
He could be wrong, he could be right.
Either way, you have not shown that he is wrong.
