"Adding more shielding can make spacecraft too heavy and is too expensive"
...Knowledge of the secondary radiation, which is produced by galactic cosmic rays and SPEs interacting with material on the lunar surface, is currently based on data from Apollo, Lunar Prospector, and Clementine and on calculations.
...
The radial extrapolation of the GCR environment from Earth to Mars is well understood
...
knowledge of the composition, energy spectrum, and temporal variation of the “free space” GCR component of the interplanetary radiation environment is sufficient to support the needs of the Constellation lunar missions
...
Ice-core studies indicate that the past ~50 years may have coincided with a comparatively benign space radiation climate, in terms of both GCR modulation levels and the frequency of very large SPE events.
...
Of particular concern is the possibility of a six- to eightfold increase in the number of very large SPE events, perhaps starting within the next decade. If such an increase were to occur, it would have a major impact on the design and operation of Exploration systems...

Your not armed at all with NASA links...
NASA has no credibility...

Asking why we have not been back to the Moon is important.
How will you feel about our space program when it is 2040 and NASA says "We will definitely put a man on Mars by 2052"?

How can 2 well respected astronauts, Alan Bean and Buzz Aldrin have such differing accounts of what actually happened re: the radiation hazard
jump to about 8 mins.
Then Alan Bean claims they weren't discovered before Apollo 12. He could have just honestly forgotten.

Actually he's 'banging the drum' about just about every moon hoax issue there is.
And at the moment we're talking about the radiation issues. See above video.
Part 17 from the moonfaker series.
edit: hear the astronauts speak for themselves.

Note how quickly the "weren't discovered yet" quote goes by. Knowing by now that Jarrah is not averse to lying outright in his videos, I'd prefer to see the quote in context before rendering a final opinion.
