>>212688257>van allen beltThere's a lot to this misconception also there are two belts, not one
The Van Allen belts are composed of high energy protons and electrons, not gamma radiation, so a large fraction of the particles are stopped by even a thin barrier of many materials. With only 5mm of aluminum shielding in the inner van allen belt you would have to spend 100 days there to get a lethal dose of radiation. The Apollo command module had 13mm of aluminum, not to mention the shielding.
The Apollo spacecraft skirted around the highest intensity regions of the inner and outer belts and even if they went straight through the worst regions they would only be there for two hours since they are still near periapsis and have a super high velocity. The dosimeters on the astronauts showed that the radiation was within completely acceptable ranges. The Soviets even sent turtles to fly around the moon and return, and they were all completely healthy (until they were killed for autopsy).
>>and uh, we also forgot how to make spacesuits not get shredded by lunar dustNever heard this one before. The outer layer of the suits was more than enough to solve the abrasion problem, plus it was discarded when they repressurized in the lander. Moon dust is not some mystery magic material that can cut through anything. It's a long-term problem, not a short one.
Throw out anything else you got, I have literally nothing else to do right now.
