Simon,
They are lying to us.
We have not solved the problem of getting through the Van Allen radiation belts that kill living beings.
We have not solved the problem of getting through the thermosphere whose temperatures are significantly higher than needed to melt the metals in the spacecraft.
So, no go.
This is all CGI.
Quit lying.

Some assembly required.
That's been solved. Avoid them and shield your spacecraft...just like we did when we went to the moon. Even if we fly through them the radiation exposure is minimal due to how little time is spent there. You're been watching WAY too many youtube videos.
From VanAllen belts on Wikipedia:
The Apollo missions marked the first event where humans traveled through the Van Allen belts, which was one of several radiation hazards known by mission planners.[32] The astronauts had low exposure in the Van Allen belts due to the short period of time spent flying through them. Apollo flight trajectories bypassed the inner belts completely, passing through the thinner areas of the outer belts.[25][33]

I'm always amazed at the effort some FReepers expend in broadcasting their self-imposed ignorance...
Stupidity makes one neither holy nor righteous.
