At the time the Russians were beating the Americans on every front in relation to the space race, but no manned landing on the moon.

The Americans further claim that passing through the Van Allen belts quickly, 90 minutes going and 90 minutes coming, posed no hazard or risk to the crews.
Yet, the measured radiation of the inner and outer belts is 75 rads per second and 100 rads per second, for a total of just under half a million rads going and another half million rads coming with virtually no shielding, plus the additional radiation from the numerous solar storms occurring during this same time frame.
Today the Van Allen belts pose a hazard to the space station, satellites and commercial aircraft flying below the level of the belts.
It is more than obvious that with rockets, especially chemical rockets (current tech), we will never leave LEO ever.wdavidb написа:If we are going to move forward it is essential to know the facts.
