We now know aluminum is not adequate shielding in deep space.
We now know the VA Belts are completely different than we'd always believed they were.
Both of these scientific discoveries have begun a methodical, inevitable unravelling of the Apollo hoax.
Our progress in science, and space, will make it virtually impossible to prop up the Apollo story, over the next decade, without a doubt.

Show us anything in any document you have linked to, or any other document, that says Apollo's shielding was inadequate, or that the astronauts received a lethal dose of radiation. Any time you like.
The documents say aluminum is inadequate shielding for manned missions in deep space. True.
Apollo was mostly built of aluminum, which is inadequate shielding for manned missions in deep space. True.
By that, the documents confirm that Apollo's shielding was inadequate.
It is the only possible conclusion to make.
They can't make it more clear, to anyone who is willing to connect the dots.

Right, it doesn't count. Claims need evidence to actually count, and your claim of 150 days has absolutely none.
That is nonsense.
What would a short term mission be, then?
They don't define what a short term mission would be, whether it be a week, or two weeks, or a month. But, whatever they consider a short term mission to be, you believe they don't need to mention them! They are all fine with aluminum shielding, because they are not mentioned at all!
Seriously, now...
They do not exclude any type of mission in deep space.
They say we cannot do manned missions in deep space with aluminum shielding, period. That means ANY manned mission which goes into deep space, of ANY length, cannot, will not, use aluminum shielding.
A short term mission is not even defined as a specific length of time, so how do you know what they consider to be a short term mission is, much less know they don't need to mention them??
You are the only one cherry-picking here. Much worse, you make up a bunch of crap that they don't even say! That they "don't need to mention"! What a joke!
Anything that is said in the document has to stand as is. You cannot invent something they "don't need to mention", or 'what they 'implicitly would have meant, without ever saying it'.
These documents stand as is.
You cannot revise them wherever you choose, or assume this or that is meant, just because your argument can't hold up if you don't change it.

Consider this -
The documents that I've shown are trying to determine the effects of deep space radiation on humans.
They can't make it more clear, to anyone who is willing to connect the dots.

The documents say aluminum is inadequate shielding for manned missions in deep space. True.
Medical sciences says that all human beings die. True.
Apollo was mostly built of aluminum, which is inadequate shielding for manned missions in deep space. True.
You are a human being. True.
By that, the documents confirm that Apollo's shielding was inadequate.
It is the only possible conclusion to make.
Therefore, medical science says that you are dead. That is the only possible conclusion to make.
They can't make it more clear, to anyone who is willing to connect the dots.
You are the most tedious fake Hoaxie around. Please take your act to Godlike Productions where it belongs.
The international space altitude records are crucial to the Apollo narratives. The Russians simply *stopped* making altitude records in 1965 and they have stayed in low earth orbit for 50 years.
Given that this thread serves no purpose beyond providing lulz to trolls
I submit that this thread be closed

but you are free to make claims that to date GCR's will kill anyone in any amount of time when aluminium is used in spacecraft construction?? you dont need evidence for this claim now do you?? double standards much??
originally posted by: choos
you cant tell the difference between 2 weeks and several months??? Apollo have their stated time spent in deep space.. 14 days was the maximum 6 days was the minimum lunar missions.. compare that to a trip to mars which will take several MONTHS.. even a pre-schooler could work out which one is considered short term and which one is considered long term..
originally posted by: choos
think about this for a second.. if they dont exclude any type of missions you are claiming that spending anything more than a fraction of a second in deep space with aluminium is deadly..
originally posted by: choos
for long journeys ie. mars.. short travels and stays on the moon are safe as can be shown in the documents YOU attempt to quote from..
originally posted by: choos
most people including children under 10 years old can work out that 14 days would be considered short term when compared with 300 days.. but i guess thats too difficult for you to grasp?
originally posted by: choos
somethings they dont need to mention.. you are basically trying to suggest that a report on rocket performance is required to explain newtons laws to its readers because if it doesnt it doesnt apply.. stop grasping at straws..
you need to accept that you dont have the capability to understand the report because it was not meant for your level of knowledge..

So, you admit that you can see the fallacy in my arguments, yet you refuse to admit you commit exactly the same fallacy in your own reasoning. You are not as stupid as you want us to believe I see.
Given that this thread serves no purpose beyond providing lulz to trolls, I submit that this thread be closed in the hopes that a genuine Hoaxie will open one that actually raises issues, rather than this one, which is now limited entirely to vague innuendo.

Aluminum is not adequate shielding for any manned spacecraft going into deep space, in fact it's worse than no shielding at all because GCR radiation intensifies the hazard due to fragmentation of the radiation particles.
That is a fact, not a fallacy.
We will not build future spacecraft with aluminum shielding for manned deep space missions, because it is not adequate shielding, and makes it even more hazardous for humans than before, as I've explained above.

Nonsense. Not true. False.
All metals will produce Bremsstrahlung radiation. Aluminium produces much less than other metals because it is less dense. This is not the same as "Aluminium is worse than no shield at all", because it will stop some radiation getting through.
Yet again you present the fallacy that only aluminium was involved in the CSM construction. What was underneath the aluminium skin?
No, it is something misunderstand. If it is a fact you will have absolutely no problem presenting data that shows aluminium shielding is worse than no shielding at all.
Orion has aluminium in its construction. Orion is designed for longer term deep space missions.
Once again, because you seem to keep missing my repeated requests:
Please show any evidence you have, any at all, from any source you like, that shows that the Apollo shielding and mission planning did not provide adequate protection for astronauts for the duration of their missions.
Please provide any evidence you have, any at all, that demonstrates that the Apollo astronauts received a dose that exceeded safety standards - either those at the time or modern ones.

I've never claimed that, as I've told you over and over again. Stop spewing this crap.
The point is this - you claim these documents are only referring to aluminum being inadequate shielding on 'long' term missions, several months or longer, such as a Mars mission would be, and not to 'short' term missions, of 6-14 days, as Apollo (supposedly) was.
The most constraining exposure limit is that for the BFO for which the 50 cSv/yr is not achieved until ≈30 g/cm2
www.cs.odu.edu...
They don't exclude ANY missions, of ANY duration, in fact.
No, I'm not claiming that.
I am taking the documents as is, word for word, exactly as they are MEANT to be taken, by the reader.
The documents didn't say aluminum will kill humans within a fraction of a second in deep space, nor do I claim it.
They DO claim aluminum is not only a poor shield in deep space, it makes the radiation even more hazardous than before. I claim it, too.
They DO claim no aluminum shielding will be used for manned spacecraft in deep space, for any future missions. So I claim it, too.
No, the documents do not show those missions are "safe", not in any way, or in any statement, whatsoever.
The documents NEVER claim that aluminum shielding is "safe", for short missions, or any other missions, nor imply or suggest such a thing.
The documents note that for any manned missions in deep space, longer missions will have greater exposure to the hazards (ie: radiation) within the deep space environment, as compared to shorter missions.
To say longer missions are exposed to more hazards than shorter missions does not mean shorter missions are 'safe', in other words.
Yes, and most 10 year-olds would also grasp that it does not have to be one or the other, of either a 6-14 days mission , or a 300+ days mission, but everything in between. I would hope that you have grasped this, as well.
It does apply to aluminum shielding, without a doubt. The documents claim aluminum is not adequate shielding in deep space. They state that no spacecraft we ever build in the future will use aluminum shielding, for any manned missions going into deep space.No exceptions are pointed out for your Apollo-type, 'short' missions.

As a hoax, the Apollo astronauts would not have encountered the hazardous radiation, since it is only found beyond LEO
so why can't I find any Apollo documentation on the CSM's radiation shielding?

As a hoax, the Apollo astronauts would not have encountered the hazardous radiation, since it is only found beyond LEO, so there would be no data to show you as it doesn't exist, obviously.
I've cited documents stating aluminum is not adequate shielding in deep space,
and makes GCR radiation more hazardous by fragmenting through the material. Those are facts, there is no debating it.
If you want data on this, I suggest you should ask them for it, as they would best know where to get any of the relevant details on the matter, rather than me..
As for Apollo - show me the documents on its radiation shielding, if you can...
I've never seen any of it. Your group likes to say how Apollo is so well-documented, so why can't I find any Apollo documentation on the CSM's radiation shielding?
Orion has never sent humans beyond LEO, so you have no proof it can even fly past LEO with humans.
