RE: How hard would it be to send a new manned mission to the Moon, 50 years on?

in #stemq6 years ago

Do you really believe we walked on the moon? What about the Van Allen belt radiation that would supposedly be lethal to pass, as Nasa admitted themselves a few years ago... Just wondering, kind of like a StemQ question...

I at least do.

To answer your comment: the Apollo missions just went through the belt in a region where it was less intense and very quickly. Moreover, the space module has sufficient protection to keep the astronauts safe.
