Look at that chart! If A14 had spent 1 more hour in the belts those numbers would have increased by many more orders of magnitude and the astronauts would have got radiation sickness from it.
Sorry to be blunt. But it really is embarrassing.

What kind of computer systems did they use in Apollo missions compared to what we would presently use?
Do you think that risks taken back then should be taken today? Can you show me where NASA said there were no difficulties or challenges associated with the Van Allen belt for the Apollo missions?
Nowhere does it state we never went, you clearly think we never went and look for any excuse to support your belief, sorry to burst your bubble.

I'm usually pretty quick to call people out on what you're saying he's doing, but I'm not seeing any unreasonable preconceptions or bias here, just an open mind asking a legitamate question. He was fair I'd say, don't quite get what made you think he had his mind made up. Not being argumentitive btw just my 2 cents.

They are fictional, just like the moonlandings.
"I am not sure we went far enough out to encounter the Van Allen radiation belts. Maybe we did."
When Sibrel pointed out the Belts were 1000 miles out, Bean tossed up his hands and replied, "Then we went right out through them."
"No effects on yourselves?" asked Sibrel.
Bean shook his head. "Uh-uh, didn't even know it. I don't think anyone even, well, maybe someone said 'you went through the radiation belt' (fidgets, takes his right hand and begins scratching his right temple, closes his eyes) and but we didn't feel it inside. And we didn't get any added radiation."
How did Bean know they didn't get any added radiation when he didn't even know the Belts existed twenty seconds earlier?
Next, Sibrel quoted CNN on the space shuttle crew seeing shooting stars at 365 miles.
Bean sat there like a grouper fish, bracing for his next dodge. Then he twists uncomfortably on his left butt cheek and interrupts saying, "That isn't from radiation belt, we saw shooting stars but they are not shooting stars (he peers to ground scouring for an invisible counter) from, with your eyes closed although they look like it." Bean nervously dips his head, pauses, swallows, licks his lips, and volleys an awkward, delayed, "Uhhh....if you're out in space beyond the Van Allen Belt (Note: he is now intimate with a term he only learned a few finger snaps earlier) probably within the Van Allen Belt (he bows his head absurdly low in yet another tactical stall) and close your eyes (dips again and swallows, bites his lip and pops head up) and just...(really forces this out with effort to believe his own contrivance) Pay Attention!

The most ridiculous of all claims imo, is to believe we live in a ''clean'' society, where we are all well informed of everything happening, we are not lied by anyone in power, the media are telling the truth, and none tries to deceive us.
