[Mitchell, from the 1971 Technical Debrief - "Outside of my own stupidity - missing that one magazine. This was complicated by the fact that, in real time (at 119:50:37, we decided to take the extra magazine we hadn't used on EVA-1 out on EVA-2, so that we had an extra magazine on the surface. In checking things off on the checklist before ingress on the second EVA, I very brightly marked off three magazines. We had three (in the ETB) indeed. There was a fourth magazine sitting there on the (16-mm) camera that we just overlooked."]
[See, also, the discussion following 132:59:35. The forgotten magazine was HH (Hotel-Hotel), which they loaded in the 16-mm camera before leaving the LM but didn't turn on until 133:47:47 as they were making their way toward Station F on the trip back to the LM.]
[One possible explanation for Houston's request is that Al has been having trouble with his camera handle and Houston wants to take a look at it.]

[They will remove the PLSSs, check to make sure that the OPSs are still working properly (in case they have to be used for an emergency spacewalk across to the Command Module), and prepare a jettison bag with unneeded equipment to be discarded along with the PLSSs. They perform the OPS check before discarding the PLSSs for the simple reason that, should one of the OPSs not check out properly, they will keep a PLSS. Astronaut Joe Engle, the backup LMP, takes over as CapCom.]

Seem to me these protocols are found in a single Google search, in fact it was the hit on top of my page.

Why don't you just post this information upfront and tell us whats wrong with it?
Because only approximately 20 percent of the flares resultin particle events, it is not necessary to change normal mission procedures on thebasis of RF or visual observations alone. Rather, radiation sensors on board solar-orbit and earth-orbit satellites, as well as on board the Apollo spacecraft itself, are used to confirm the particle event.Only after the appearance of particles is confirmed would action be taken to protect the crewmen.
For a typical event, approximately 8 hours would be available from the time particles are confirmed to the time of peak radiation dose.

So... MORE STUFF WAS JETTISONED. Perhaps even a camera....
NOW, may I once again ask:
WHAT IS THE RELEVANCE OF THIS OTHER THAN TO DISTRACT???
The irony is that I'd love to find out that one of the lunar surface Hassy's came back, as I would like to see it in the flesh before I pass this mortal coil...
So, make my day, stop playing stupid games, and see above for GENUINE RESEARCH, in context (and relevant) quotes, and the proper consideration of all possibilities.
You should try that sometime.
05 23 45 30 CC And, of course, we're going to bring back the
docking probe. Now, on stowage: the first three
items, the tethers and the webbing, can go in the
temporary stowage 'bags in the con, hand module. The
Hasselblad in the ISA, which is normal, and your
gloves can go in the PGA bag, and the probe up
underneath the right-hand couch in the temporary
stowage location.
05 23 45 59 LMP Okay, we've already stowed most of this stuff,
Bruce. The tether - the 100-foot tether is already in the ISA; the LEC waste tethers can go in the TsB and so can the 30-foot tiedown webbing. The Commander's Hasselblad we can put in the ISA; the EVA gloves are already in the ISA. Okay, stand by, please.
135:23:03 Haise: And, Al and Ed, I just wanted to check once again on the camera mags to make sure you got four 70's and four 16-millimeter mags. I guess one of the 70's is on a camera.
135:23:18 Mitchell: That's affirm, Fredo.
[Shepard, from the 1971 Technical Debrief - "We did get everything up there (to the cabin), with the exception of one camera magazine."]
Apollo 14 was the eighth manned mission in the Apollo program and the third mission to land on the Moon. (An H type mission with two EVAs or moonwalks.) The nine-day mission was launched on January 31, 1971, with lunar touch down on February 5.
134:54:14 Haise: Roger, Al, and I guess from here, we can split up; and Ed can take the MET and proceed to the cluster of boulders he had reported earlier to the north(west) of the LM; and you can proceed out to the ALSEP.

135:07:13 Haise: I stand corrected. What they really wanted was to bring Al's camera back, instead of yours. So, we'll only be bringing one camera, the CDR's.

In my humble opinion, this nonsense has gone on long enough.
Foo wants to move on to another topic. Well I say we don't let him.
Do not answer any posts of Foo's unless it addresses the radiation issue; specifically the data relating to "major SPE". and a definition in the form of actual data. .
Refuse to engage in any debate with him until that issue is resolved.
Then we can move on to the next fallacy.

There were no major proton events during any of the Apollo missions. Though and beyond Apollo 12.

Allow me to reiterate the previous question asked of you:
"WHAT IS THE RELEVANCE OF THIS OTHER THAN TO DISTRACT???"
How does any of this relate to the Apollo Hoax other that it gives you a chance to change the subject an avoid answering the radiation question you've been ducking for over 10 pages now?
Now please, post you radiation data or admit you don't have any. This is getting beyond tolerable.

The unit, rem, is a dose factor. The chart is showing the total dosage which the astronauts would have been exposed to during the entire particle event. The MOD (maximum operational dose) for the Apollo missions was set at 400 rads.
...the maximum operational dose (MOD) limit for each of the Apollo missions was set at 400 rads (X-ray equivalent) to skin and 50 rads to the blood-forming organs.
Converting rems to rams depends on the nature of the radiation involved but for high energy protons the Q factor is 10, meaning that 100 rems would be the equivalent of 10 rads. So even if Apollo 12 had launched a week earlier, that proton event would not have been dangerous, even during an EVA. None of the missions got anywhere near 400 rads.
I've mentioned this before...when I went through radiation therapy I recieved 250 rads at each treatment. For a total of 4000 rads. I didn't die.
Your questions have been answered.
The windows of the CM consisted of more than 1" of glass. More than enough to absorb x-rays even if the window had been pointed at the Sun during a flare. Why do you keep harping on that unsubstantiated claim about how deadly the x-rays would have been? It would have taken an extreme flare to have been lethal.
The "glowing astronaut" is a result of a smudge on the lens. It is apparent in the whole series of images. I did not glow after my radiation treatments. People do not glow when exposed to radiation.

The only reason anything is still being discussed is because you change topic to avoid answering any questions.
Or simply dont understand the subject matter: case in point, the chart you asked be explained to you. If you even glanced at it within the document you yourself posted it should be clear as day what the chart is showing.
Once again, present your SPE data.
PS: you should review your definition of "whipping"

Two shots is more than enough for something like that.
In fact total set up time for all 6 flags was around one hour.
That's one hour of extremely valuable lunar surface time ... setting up a flag. Once I can understand, but 6 times.
Well, seeing as Bean didn't follow procedures and broke the TV camera on Apollo 12, I think the stills would have been even more important than ever.
Originally posted by FoosM
I would interpret that as 400 rads to blood-forming organs would be major problem, right?
Yes, you shared this before, but you will agree this was a controlled use of radiation.
With probably a specific type of radiation.
Not to mention, you probably received medical after care.
And you didnt clarify if this was 250 rads equivalent to exposure to your organs or to you skin.
You say that:
"So even if Apollo 12 had launched a week earlier, that proton event would not have been dangerous, even during an EVA. None of the missions got anywhere near 400 rads"
How did you come to that conclusion? Show us the math. Bring it home for us laymen.
Im still wondering what that 150.000.000 total dose represented.
What are they really saying abut the November SPE.
How much of a dose for the CM, LM and EVA?
And would this be in REM?
You want us to take your word on it, or you have some evidence to back that up?
The "glowing astronaut" is a result of a smudge on the lens. It is apparent in the whole series of images. I did not glow after my radiation treatments. People do not glow when exposed to radiation.
Sorry, but you have provided no evidence it was a smudge.
You will have to do substantiate that claim or admit its an open unsolved anomaly.
And nobody is saying those astronauts are glowing because of radiation.
I certainly am not because I say they never left LEO.
