Not so agreed that there really has been space travel, if we are acknowledging the radiation levels of the belt then there needs to be some form of shielding.
I would be willing to accept some tech that's beyond what is publicly known, but things aren't that cut and dried.
Dangerous space radiation is short wavelength, which is quite easy to shield against. For example, thin aluminum plates alone can stop a significant portion of it. Radiation shielding for space flight is really more about the costs associated with adding weight, and bulk to space craft, rather than any technological limitations.
Fair, engineers would look to the solution in that, and luckily 30 million eV, beyond that it's on the EM spectrum tells me little without adding guesswork.
Not looking to debate further either, the main point I'm trying to raise that the FE topic was one that I had damn near the same reaction, until I was challenged to hear out the actual argument and consider presented evidence.
That said, I tend to agree that qresearch doesn't mesh with that discussion, if only for the reason that it's a huge way for normies to reject looking deeper.
The Van Allen Belts were discovered by Explorer I, which was NOT shielded because no one knew of the belts beforehand. But the belts did not destroy Explorer I. Even the fuselage of the Apollo capsule counts as shielding---provided you zip through the belts at a speed of ~10 km/second. Multiple visits to the Moon. No particular problem with the belts. The Big Insight is that you don't just stop and loiter in them, like it's some kind of sauna. That would be idiotic. (Do we all take dental X-rays? Yes? Nobody is dead? Same thing.)
Agreed, not Q material.
