NASA engineer speaks of the future Mars missions and deep space travel and slips up and says they haven't figure out a way to pass thru Earths Van Ryan belt which is 2 layers of radiation 100,000 thousands miles above Earth and its fatal to humans and they need to figure out how to go thru it before they can send MAN MISSIONS "beyond" that region of space, but I thought "humans" already went thru the Van Ryan belt to go to the Moon during the Apollo Moon missions back in the 60s and 70s so what's there to figure out?
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.[30] 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 to send spacecraft through only the thinner areas of the outer belts. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Al...r_space_travel
The Soviet Union, the United States biggest rival during the Cold War confirmed that they landed on the Moon. If the US did not land, the Soviets would've been the first one to say they didn't do it.
