Me thinks the leadership of this site is way too touchy about this particular subject. I fail to see why this thread is HOAXbinned...after 40 pages. The OP presented his interpretation of what was said in the video. By that logic, any alternate view of practically anything today should be considered a hoax.
Also...there is a question mark at the end of the title...meaning...the OP is asking for opinions.
Anyway...
edit:
correction...20 pages

Dear mam,
You seem to draw a imaginary connection between a computer's performance statistics and its need for shielding against space radiation, but it is just that; imaginary. Please post any scientific sources for such a purposed connection in this thread, please.

You just flat refuse to believe anything that goes against you don't you.
Aluminum worked fine, for Apollo, which lasted about 10 days total. Orion missions will last longer and go places Apollo didn't. Shielding that worked for short missions won't work for long missions.
4. Some people believe that the Apollo moon landings were a hoax because astronauts would have been instantly killed in the radiation belts. According to the US Occupation Safety and Health Agency (OSHA) a lethal radiation dosage is 300 Rads in one hour. What is your answer to the 'moon landing hoax' believers? Note: According to radiation dosimeters carried by Apollo astronauts, their total dosage for the entire trip to the moon and return was not more than 2 Rads over 6 days. The total dosage for the trip is only 11.4 Rads in 52.8 minutes. Because 52.8 minutes is equal to 0.88 hours, his is equal to a dosage of 11.4 Rads / 0.88 hours = 13 Rads in one hour, which is well below the 300 Rads in one hour that is considered to be lethal. Also, this radiation exposure would be for an astronaut outside the spacecraft during the transit through the belts. The radiation shielding inside the spacecraft cuts down the 13 Rads/hour exposure so that it is completely harmless.
You keep asking why the Orion would have to go through a thicker area, and the answer is that they don't know until it get's closer to the time for launch.

The Belts aren't uniform. They're thicker in some places and thinner in others. Some areas are so dangerous satellites going through them are shut off first.
The route Apollo took was through a thinner portion.
Nikita Khrushchev admitting the Americans made it to the moon isn't enough?
oh thats nice, you want ME to prove man landed on the moon.. but when it comes to me asking you to prove its impossible you dont have to do anything?
second time in this thread a hoax believer has this double standards..
The ONLY SOLID EVIDENCE that would have proven "without a doubt"
(without "CLOSE UP" pictures.. not the crud nasa has on-line)
HAS BEEN TAPED OVER BY NASA.

Who are you "trying" to impress son?
You are the one with double standards..
This is at least the third time you have made a false & misleading statement (or just plain lied) about what I have said.
Let me set the record straight..
First.. I have NEVER asked you to "prove" anything..
asking you what "proof" you have.. may be similar..
But not the same as asking you to "prove" your theory of landing on the moon.
Frankly I really don't care that much about your "status quo theory."
As you have clearly proven you have just as much PROOF as I do.. Hyperthetical Theory.
The ONLY SOLID EVIDENCE that would have proven "without a doubt"
(without "CLOSE UP" pictures.. not the crud nasa has on-line)
HAS BEEN TAPED OVER BY NASA.
(cos it's standard procedure to tape over historic evidence)
You "say" there are others, but you forget..
IT WAS ONLY the first 9minutes before the broadcast was switched to AUSTRALIA.
I have been open and honest with you..
Yet you resort to obfuscation & misleading statements..
Page 22 is where you first entered, interupting a debate between myself & skepticoverlord..
So if you want to make factual statements about our discussions.. I suggest "again" that you refresh your memory and get your FACTS Straight.
As I have said.. I do not believe that the apollo even went outside of L.E.O.. full stop.
AND THAT THE "ISS is arguably the most expensive single item ever constructed.
That as of 2010.. The cost is estimated to be over $150 BILLION."
If they had been to the moon over 45yrs ago..
Why have they wasted that kind of money floating around like an OVERSIZED satellite in Lower Earth Orbit..?

Does NASA have a map that would allow them to plot a safe course through the "thinner portions"?
How are they going to turn up, when nasa has taped over them?!
Very insightful.. aren't you..
Cheers for your astute wisdom

The duration of the mission should not even matter, according to this,
It doesn't matter wether you are exposed to harmless levels of rads per hour for one week, or for one year.
