NRC regulations regarding whole-body dose are quite conservative, and they limit radiation worker exposure to 5 rem per year. So if you get 0.38 rem for the lunar roundtrip, the regulations would allow you to make about 13 trips per year and not exceed the occupational exposure limit for whole-body dose. Chances are an exposure of 5 rems to the whole body would be hard to detect. For humans you start to see minor hematopoietic effects at around 10 rems for acute exposures. Serious effects start at about 300 rems. This is also for acute exposure.

Uh, no, anyone can slap a logo on a youtube video.
You need to get out of the conspiracy fever swamps. Much more dangerous to your mental health than any Van Allen Belts radiation.

Interesting. The ring of more reflective material where the two pieces join is striking. Milspec welding joint.

I asked you some questions.
Are you capable of answering them?
Are you even aware that my post included questions?

Milspec welding joint. Do I need to be talking to Giorgio Tsoukalos about this?

Somehow your choice in screen names reminds me of the clinton’s choice of calling their co-presidency “the most ethical ever”.
Or perhaps Obama’s choice of calling his “the most transparent ever”.

They are lying to us. We have not solved the problem of getting through the Van Allen radiation belts that kill living beings. 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]

dirtboy,
That’s the ticket!
Just discredit a NASA produced video by saying that someone else posted it.
You have run out of ideas.
To: DouglasKC
DouglasKC,
Take it up with NASA. They produced the video.
To: Simon Green
This Ultima picture is much to do about nothing. Just chunks of asteroid-like rock - what’s the different between this and other asteroids of our solar system. A lot of hoopla (and money), and sound and fury, signifying nothing.

null and void,
Your response is a typical ad hominem attack.
That is what you go to when you have no intelligent response.
To: TruthInThoughtWordAndDeed
NorthMountain, Take it up with NASA. They are the ones who said it. Here is the link where NASA admits to this barrier: https://youtu.be/4O5dPsu66Kw?t=164 Ummm..no, NASA did not "admit" anything. You took what an engineer said out of context and put a spin on it.
THINK. Your whole premise is that NASA is faking all the space stuff. And then you go and say that NASA is admitting we can't go into space. Make up your mind. It's either one or the other.

I’m not sure if that individual is mind-blowingly ignorant, but sincerely believes that crap in good faith or if that individual is simply a liar.

DouglasKC, Take it up with NASA. They produced the video. Nothing to take up. You're simply twisting things you don't want to understand.
To: TruthInThoughtWordAndDeed
Dude, it’s obviously not an official NASA video. Anyone can slap a NASA logo on a youtube video.

Aeons ago, for a handful of years,I taught physics, general science, and math in high school. My stock answer to “But Mr. Mountain, why do we have to learn this stuff?” was a cleaned up version of “So be able to recognize and reject BS when you see it on the news”. (This was before the WWW was a thing.) Ignorance of the natural sciences is unnecessary and unfortunate.

It’s hard to know which one of those two things she is oh, but one thing we know for certain, she’s closed minded.
