Your last post made the least sense of all posts in this thread.
Oh lord, more blind people.
Let me summarize it for you:
Measuring the space environment now can not be used as an indicator
for what the space environment was during Apollo.
Is that easy enough for you to understand?
To Weedwhacker, when you are watching A16 & A17 videos you are not watching source data you are watching data that has been "enhanced" by a 3rd party.
I also posted data from a separate space probe some time ago showing radiation levels measured outside of the protective reach of the magnetosphere and as expected they too also showed radiation levels to be acceptable for short term exposure during even major SPEs. Of course, there were no significant SPEs during Apollo anyway, something you get confused about due to your lack of knowledge in the subject matter.
You're fighting a battle that was lost before it started Foos and you're dumb little statements that you "don't see the connection" between radiation levels in space and Apollo only serve to prove how dim you're arguments are.
If you're concerned about solar flares then there are a few minor ones during the experiment and if you took the time to read the paper you would see the effects were negligible.

To refresh you're rather poor memory, this is the graph of MARIE data taken in orbit around Mars which has virtually no magnetosphere and therefore offers virtually no protection:
The largest peak will be the X3 class flare that occurred on the 20th July 2002:

It reached 2866 mrad / day which equates to only 0.02866 Gy / Day. Hardly an issue when it's short term exposure.
You keep being told, hopefully it will sink in one day, the problem with radiation in space is long term exposure. Read it in your head, then repeat it out loud Foos: the problem with radiation in space is long term exposure. Keep doing this until it sinks in.

"footage" (I put "footage" in quotes.....we all know the old-style derivation of the term, and it is technically not apt, when there is no "film" to begin with! But, it is a useful phrase, anyway...).
In a thread about JWs video productions calling out the Apollo missions a hoax.
None of the Apollo defenders have even attempted to debunk JW.
Or provide some valid alternate viewpoints to his information.
As predicted, he pulled out a 1961 quote from Van Allen, and then demonstrated his verbal slight of hand by once again characterizing Dr. Blakeley's carefully worded statement that "particle fragmentation can increase the particle fluence and complicate the radiation environment" as "particle fragmentation can make the radiation worse. That's not merely "quote mining." that's misrepresentation. Dr. Blakely makes it clear that the daughter particles are of lower atomic weight, and we all know they would be of lesser energy. Complicated, not worse.He also asks if solar flares can be predicted, and uses the hemming and hawing to create the impression that there's some sort of contradiction.

I just re-read your strange religious ramblings again and noticed you're rather sly little attempt at miss-quoting me, do you people take some sort of training course for that? You seem good at it, shame the only way you Hoax believers can only get your 'point' across is using such dishonest tactics. Doesn't it occur to you if you have to lie to put your point across, perhaps you have no point? Don't tell me, God told you to do it
Edit to add:
I dont need to resort to those kind of tricks to point out the myth of the Apollo moonlandings.
Anybody who has been following this thread will know this.

Really? What, as a random example, do you call this, then?

Part of the problem is that JW never really says anything. He just asks rhetorical questions. He has yet to provide anything that can be reasonably described as evidence for a clearly articulated premise. When he does that, there might be something to analyze.
Nothing to work with.
You dont explain where JW is wrong.
You just repeat what the lady said and this somehow is a debunk?
Part of the problem is you didnt watch the whole series. Thats the impression your giving.
You probably just watched the first one and passed judgement on the rest of the series.
So how can we engage in a serious debate?

email from Dr. Eleanor Blakely
I am happy to comment on the points raised. Biological effects from particle damage are dependent on the "quality" of the radiation. It is confusing to individuals not in the field (who expect a linear increase in biological damage with increasing radiation ionization density) that biological effectiveness does increase with radiation quality but at about 150 keV per micrometer, biological effectiveness saturates. This means that particles with very high Linear Energy Transfer (LET) can be LESS effective than particles characterized by LOWER LET.
To use the comparison made in your message, this means that indeed depending on the particle energy and atomic number, ping pong balls could be more damaging than the bullet! The fragmentation event that produced the "ping pong balls" also can produce secondary radiations such as neutrons which we have not talked about in this conversation. The radiation environment in space is very complex, but so are biological organisms. This is not pure physics, this is biophysics. Please let me know if this message is clear. Best to you, ellie
I am going to have to study up on the secondary radiation effects she mentions, specifically neutron radiation.
It doesn't sound good though.

Radiation was not an operational problem during the Apollo Program. Doses received by the crewmen of Apollo missions 7 through 17 were small because no major solar-particle events occurred during those missions. One small event was detected by a radiation sensor outside the Apollo 12 spacecraft, but no increase in radiation dose to the crewmen inside the spacecraft was detected. Solar-particle releases are random events, and it is possible that flares, with the accompanying energetic nuclear particles, might hinder future flights beyond the magnetosphere of the Earth.
