send people through the VAB using Orion!!!
he is saying that they need to make sure that Orion's electronics can withstand the high radiation environment of the VAB so that humans can use Orion without it failing..
you are trying to establish that they are using Orion to find a shielding that is good at protecting humans within the VAB.

Do you even realize that if NASA said the actual, main reason for sending probes into the VAB, was to understand how, and if, humans might one day be able to safely fly through the belts, NASA would essentially be saying that Apollo couldn't have gone through the VAB, and didn't go through the VAB, which they'd have to in order to fly to the moon, so the moon landings were a hoax? Not a chance.
Simply consider the timeline -
In 2001, they announced a plan to 'return' man to the moon, by 2018, later by 2020.
The probes were launched after they announced this plan, in 2012, and the project was to end 2 years later, which is a few years BEFORE they planned to go to the moon, in 2018/2020.
So the timeline fits perfectly within their plans to go to the moon.
That's quite a remarkable coincidence, is it not? Not.
Add the fact we didn't even know how the VAB even behaved until the probes, as well.
Add the fact a NASA engineer said there are problems the probes will need to help them to resolve, before they can attempt to send people through the region. The main purpose of the probes is to understand the problems involved with a manned flight traversing the region. NASA lists those points which must be understood, before taking the next step, to go to the moon.
THAT is the actual 'main purpose' of the probes, without a doubt.
The list is the path towards understanding the VAB, required in reaching for their TRUE goal, main purpose

Which is confirmed by the fact they do not have developed such a shield to protect humans, further confirmed by the fact they don't know what material(s) will work in developing that shield. This shield does not yet exist. Such a shield has never existed, and they don't know if, or when, it ever WILL come to exist.
Show me the evidence they have such a shield today, if you can.
If you cannot prove this shield exists today, then you have no case.
You would think Orion would have this shield, right?
But, Orion has no such shield that I've seen, so please try and prove wrong about that.

All turbonium's talk of what Orion's test programme and the VAB probes mission is doing is revealing his ignorance

Please describe the content of the videos per T&C. Also, please stop pretending to be an idiot.
the foundation of the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) that took Chandrayan-1 to the moon
Chandrayaan was headed up by an ex-nasa guy ,
who just so happens to be expert in cosmic radition & the van allen belts,,
the photography of the sites wasn't publicized ahead of time & took place on a days when few personnel were around....
interesting read that may or

there is a general overwhelming consensus that the Chandrayaan & LRO photography has been compromised,, only the propagandists refuse too admit it due their tendency to project fallacy for public consumption.

there you go again with the LRO delusion,,,the moon hoax theorists have already exposed the nefarious goings on with Chandrayaan and their covert photography of the apollo sites....
