40 years ago was 40 years ago and I doubt either of us were around to verify the tech involved. But have you seen some of the theories though? Take the cosmic radiation for example: It's not like NASA [i]didn't[/i] know about it by the time they prepared Apollo 11. _________________ Strata here: [url=http://www.nanowrimo.org/eng/user/242293]Nanowrimo[/url] - [url=www.fanart-central.net/user-Stratadrake.php]FAC[/url] - [url=http://stratadrake.deviantart.com]dA[/url] - [url=www.furaffinity.net/user/Stratadrake/]FA[/url]

The details of available technology are pretty well documented historical knowledge.
Cosmic rays are hard to block, and lots of lead or concrete for shielding are far too heavy to be practical as shielding. The aluminum haul may shield against alpha and beta particles well enough, but it won't do much about gamma rays.
But, if the wikipedia article is accurate it sounds like simply a matter of conspiracy theorists over-estimating the amount of radiation -- not enough to kill them, just enough to cause cataracts (and probably increase their chances of cancer). _________________ You will obey or molten silver will be poured into your ears. |

from what NASA says it will about 2030 before we get to fake the mars landing. _________________ [img]http://i597.photobucket.com/albums/tt53/sosilk/Banner-1-1.jpg[/img]

Well, it didn't result in a team of crime-fighting spandex superheroes, either.... _________________ Strata here: [url=http://www.nanowrimo.org/eng/user/242293]Nanowrimo[/url] - [url=www.fanart-central.net/user-Stratadrake.php]FAC[/url] - [url=http://stratadrake.deviantart.com]dA[/url] - [url=www.furaffinity.net/user/Stratadrake/]FA[/url]
