you repeatedly announce that all data is from LEO only. which obviously includes GCR data.
the ISS which is an Aluminium hulled spacecraft is in LEO. which would be exposed to GCR since GCR data was obtained in LEO and the ISS is in LEO.
now this is following YOUR arguments..
the longest anyone has ever been on a spacelfight is about 438 days on the ISS which is aluminium hulled..
so according to your beliefs the ISS which should be exposed to GCR's constantly since GCR data was collected in LEO and the ISS is in LEO, this would all mean that you believe either:
1/ GCR are very low and an astronaut can survive upto 438 days exposed to it inside an aluminium hull which includes other radiation sources ie. VAB.
or
2/ the ISS is fake.
given how far up the creek you have travelled id put my money that you believe number 2.

No, that's not what I'm saying...
I'm saying they can fly humans within LEO, but we cannot fly any humans beyond LEO - not yet, nor anytime soon.
GCR radiation is much more severe beyond LEO, compared to in LEO, for one thing.
The experts said we can't use aluminum shielding beyond LEO, as it would actually make it worse than before.
Aluminum craft can work in LEO, since almost no GCR radiation exists in that environment.
That's why Apollo was built of aluminum, since nobody knew any better, back then...
You think they went to the moon and back 9 times, in aluminum spacecraft, nobody aware how it would only intensify GCR radiation?
A short mission is your excuse for this, but it applies to ALL missions...

Desperate, much?

So when they say aluminum would make GCR radiation worse than before, it will intensify the radiation....?
You say this applies to only long-term missions, nobody needs to mention it, in the papers....
They don't exclude any missions, in fact.

It was always believed that aluminum would shield humans in space.
After they saw it worked in LEO, they assumed it would work beyond LEO, in the very same way..

how long will it take for a person to receive 1Sv dosage from exposures to GCR's?

how much more?? how do you know since you also believe they have never sent a probe or craft of any kind beyond the VAB?
originally posted by: choos
no they didnt, they said they need to find better ways at shielding against GCR's in the deep space environment than using aluminium.
originally posted by: choos
contradicting yourself arent you?? you said they used data from LEO and extrapolated it for beyond LEO usage.. since there is almost no GCR's in the LEO environment how did they extrapolate it??
if you want to make this claim please show us how they went about it since you seem to know so much about it.

doesnt matter, because the accumulated dosage is still well within the limits. reaching the prescribed limits i think relates to a 5% increased risk of developing from cancer later in life as opposed to normal.
that is 1Sv of exposure, how long of exposure time to GCR's will be needed to receive about 1 SV dosage?? answer this question before you continue any further, failure to understand this much is a failure to your argument.
The experts said it is more severe, but didn't specify 'how much more'.

So, you would disagree with these experts, right?
Not exactly.
The experts never said, or ever implied, that aluminum will work in shielding humans within the deep space environment.
Clearly, Apollo must have proven to all scientists that aluminum DID work in manned missions within deep space...
Do the experts say we've already proved aluminum works in deep space manned missions, or do they not mention it at all?
They don't mention it at all, of course.
These are experts, who would know if Apollo was genuine, or was faked, and they IGNORE Apollo. It's not hard to figure out...
if you want to make this claim please show us how they went about it since you seem to know so much about it.
This 'accumulated dosage' you refer to so often....
You find something to support your argument, then you take it, out of context, to waffle on how it shows the papers support your crapola....
As if...

They were well aware of the radiation risks, that's why they gave the crew dosimeters and built dosimeters into the spacecraft. That's why they took biological experiments with them. Both the US and USSR had ample data about radiation in space, what they did was manage and monitor the risk.
They found GCR radiation did not pass through the aluminum craft

Your definition of deep space is at odds with reality. Clearly the construction of the Apollo craft must have satisfied the experts. What qualifies you to disagree with them? What data do you have to support your arm waving goalpost moving cause?

They did?
Can you provide a source for that?
