X-rays, not again!!
You don't get the point here, or don't want to, anyway
They never exclude anything .
Safer than this or that does NOT mean it IS safe, it means safer by COMPARISON!!
Why don't they ever say that short missions are excluded in this document?
They are talking about long missions, as more hazardous than shorter stays, which is hardly stating the obvious, yes?
This gives you the impression of excluding short stays, when nothing was ever excluded in the least...
That was the whole point of it, to fool you..and it worked superbly
Look at what they really say, and not what you hope they meant to say, but didn't say at all..

They are scientists, any excusions must be known, so required to state...
Please cite the rule which requires it.
They are talking specifically about long term space voyages. That they are talking about the radiation risks involved with long term space voyages is a given.
They are not concerned, in the least, with those who think no man has walked on the Moon. They have no "requirement" to satisfy you. They have far more practical concerns.
Somebody make the italics go away.

no they are studying how to better protect humans for long stays in deep space.
they are not comparing it to short stays at all. they are in no way concerned about short stays at all.

Why do you think they're not concerned with short-stays?
The paper didn't say it, so why do you?
You just made it up, right?
Current technology is adequate for a single lunar mission for casual
astronauts. Revolutionary technology needs to be developed
for human space missions to Mars for NASA’s vision.
ntrs.nasa.gov...
What should that tell you, now?
Scientific documents are not a form of impressionism, abstract, open to revision, etc...
You are treating the paper as if it was open to interpretation - ie: how they really meant this, or that, yet never said it..
An exclusion of short missions, which didn't exist, is 'meant' to be an exclusion..
They say future spacecraft will not use aluminum shielding, for any of our manned missions into deep space.

BEING UNSAFE DOES NOT MAKE SOMETHING A HOAX.
its such a weak argument.. "oh its unsafe it must be a hoax"
oh and its pretty obvious that short missions are safer than long missions.. you know the whole exposure time thing.. i guess its finally starting to set in??
A 'safer' mission is not equivalent to being a safe mission, as I've told you already...
Do you get it?

I didn't say that being unsafe makes something a hoax, so it's totally irrelevant..

There was a very thorough post over at Apollohoax yesterday that explained in detail that the radiation protection provided was a combination of the aluminium shell, stainless steel hull and the ablative resin heatshield..
I know this has been pointed out before, but it's worth reminding turbonium again. The aluminium skin was not the entirety of the radiation protection.

its what you have been arguing about for the last few months..
you are claiming that using aluminium in a spacecraft regardless of exposure time to GCR's is unsafe, therefore Apollo is a hoax.
it doesnt matter if an astronaut spends one week in deep space, it doesnt matter if an astronaut spends one year in deep space as long as he is using aluminium as the hull of the spacecraft it is unsafe and therefore is absolutely impossible.
this has been your argument basically..
p.s. and also pointing out that shorter missions is safer than longer missions is actually very relevant.. since you somehow believe that one year in deep space is the same as one day.

You don't get the point here...
If Apollo was genuine, and in deep space, and proved aluminum shielded humans in deep space...
They would NOT say all future spacecraft will not have aluminum shielding, for manned deep space missions. Because they'd know short missions can use aluminum, as Apollo had proved it ....right?
They don't make any exceptions, for short missions, like Apollo's - and that is your major problem here...
Apollo should have proven short missions can use aluminum shielding in deep space, and future craft would use it, yet it's not the case.
