LOL! I’m not a civil engineer, but am a software/electrical/RF guy. If we’ve only gone 380 miles up and can’t get through the Van Allen Belts without radiation damage, how did we travel 470,000 miles round trip…without refueling? In engineering, you fail 100 times before something works part way

OK, you’ve convinced me. 100,000 NASA engineers and support staff are all in on this scam. And have been for 50+ years.

And no one has peeped one word.

ROFL!!!

Your major and minor premises are both FALSE. Your persistence in those falsehoods calls into question the worth of any other work you might do. Your question about "refueling" further calls into question your knowledge of very basic physics ... yet you pretend to be an electrical/RF guy?

Bosh!

Time distance and shielding...
They weren’t in the belts very long, the Spacecraft had pretty good shielding plus they were in their protective space suits until translunar space, They had little exposure to anything that might have been lethal. They did have more exposure to cosmic radiation when on the opposite side of the moon while in orbit around the moon. They saw occasional streaks of light with their eyes shut that was due to stray particles of cosmic rads ... but once back in translunar space headed for home that stopped because of the relative protection of the Earth and its fields.

The got to the moon...I just don’t think many folks in charge were candid about what happened there...especially on the first trip. They saw some strange stuff going on and they couldn’t talk about it. They say Armstrong was a changed man and became almost a recluse and didn’t talk about his trip much after that!

You should ask for your tuition back. The whole point of being an engineer is to be able to design things that work.
