manxy Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I can't argue with that either. Another plausible theory was that the Van Allen Belts were either there at the beginning of space exploration or they weren't. It seems they were there previously and therefore raises a concern as to how the old type spacecraft with limited protection was able to sustain no radiation passing through them? Something does not add up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit - I don't actually know what he meant or in what context the comment was made, but I can make a pretty good guess. Who don? Don made it clear what he was saying i will post the video. I understood it perfectly x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTeapot Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 It doesn't say what the title says it says, the ridiculous slowing down of the voice is just stupid, it makes leaps that just aren't there, just because something still needs to be solved doesn't mean it can't be done.

How come mr bean hasnt got a clue about going through the van allen belts until the reporter/ questioner tells him, then he says ok we went right throught them then!!!

I never judge a book by its cover tp So, you are saying that they need to solve a problem, that they solved in the first place to go the moon? So technology went backwards in this instance?

TheTeapot Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 The title says "NASA admits humans can't pass through the dangerous Van Allen belts" but the video says no such thing. Never judge a book by its cover you say? I say if the title is a lie I can ignore the rest of the book. As to the 'solve a problem' issue, well yeah, you've got to push on through. How did pioneers in the old west solve problems like getting over the Mississippi? Look at migrations of wilderbeast when they go across rivers. Some of them die. The problem to be solved here is not how to get through the dangerous radiation but how to do so guaranteeing safety. Read the link I provided above, it explains in fairly simple language how they did it. It also says that they considered using nuclear bombs to move the radiation but it didn't work, and actually crated more! Who could've guessed? You can watch that experiment on youtube. It isn't that technology has gone backwards, it is that the technology used is obsolete. There is no way anyone would rebuild a saturn 5 rocket today and use it, just as noone* would want to sail to the americas using a viking longboat, or build a pyramid with slaves. *I'm sure someone probably would.

paul's got wright Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 So are you saying they risked safety the first time around and got lucky? How come he sees it as a problem now? Given they already went so many times? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
