“Didn’t the Apollo astronauts get through the Van Allen belt when they went to the moon?”

The Van Allen belt meh meh is like flat earthers it’s bunk. The Apollo program put men through both belts twice per trip outbound and inbound. As long as you don’t try to stay in them for days at a time it’s a dose but not anywhere near a harmful dose to pass through them in a few hours time.

The Apollo program put men through both belts twice per trip outbound and inbound.

NASA did this six times from 1969 to 1972. Why hasn't it been done since? What's the holdup? What's the problem? What's the issue? I've been asking this question for the last 52 years and nobody has given me a satisfactory response. Perhaps you can enlighten us.
