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.
Sure it is. You have to run around it lengthwise. Of course, once you hit the end and try to make the turn you might fly off into space.
Couple pieces of coal and a carrot and you’d have something.
Interesting. The ring of more reflective material where the two pieces join is striking. Do they grind on each other?
Very cool stuff. America has shown its might again.
I think we are still getting images from the Voyagers 1 and 2. I checked on them on NASA web site, they are almost to interstellar space and we are still getting data from them.
NorthMountain,
Take it up with NASA. They are the ones who said it.
Here is the link where NASA admits to this barrier:

"We" knew a long time ago how to make electronics radiation-hard. The Van Allen belts were never the big deal you make them out to be. How do you think they were discovered?
Quit Lying.
Do you know the difference between heat and temperature? Do you know there IS a difference between heat and temperature?
Quit lying.
New Horizons is unmanned. You know that, right?
Quit lying.
No more images from the Voyagers. Still getting radiation and magnetometer data from them.
‘It’s really only the size of Washington D.C....’
And just as useless.
Hmmmm, it could be argued that we learned some science from Ultima.
Don’t even consider associating “science” with the District of Cretins.
“Very cool stuff. America has shown its might again.”
I dunno, the Clintons undoubted sold any technology associated with this to the Chinese years ago. (And I’m not kidding.)
NorthMountain,
Your response is typical. You can’t handle the truth, so you ignore it and substitute an ad hominem attack.
If anything, you should find it suspicious that a NASA engineer, in a NASA produced video, is making a recent claim that we can’t yet go through the Van Allen radiation belts. You should be questioning NASA, not me.
Here is a sample letter for you to send to NASA:
Dear NASA People,
How did the Apollo astronauts get through the Van Allen radiation belts back in the 1960s and return with live astronauts and electronics intact? In your video, you clearly stated that we can’t do that yet. So, tell me, how did we do that back then?
Quit lying.
“We” knew a long time ago how to make electronics radiation-hard. The Van Allen belts were never the big deal you make them out to be. How do you think they were discovered?
Quit Lying.
Do you know the difference between heat and temperature? Do you know there IS a difference between heat and temperature?
Quit lying.
New Horizons is unmanned. You know that, right?
Quit lying.
A youtube video! We know those are never bogus.
In the end, it seemed that these tactics worked; the on-board dose counters for the Apollo missions registered average radiation doses to the skin of the astronauts of 0.38 rad. This is about the same radiation dose as getting two CT scans of your head, or half the dose of a single chest CT scan; not too bad, though not something you should do every week.
NorthMountain,
Again, a typical response.
You don’t answer the challenge with an intelligent response. You just repeat (chant, if you will) what you said earlier.
So, your response is a non-response.
You are essentially silent when faced with an argument that does not agree with your dogma. You believe in something that you cannot logically justify. Sounds like you are an adherent to the First Church of NASA.
dirtboy,
Take it up with NASA. They produced it.
Wow. It has a face!
S’allright? S’allright!
