Enligt James Van Allen så har vi varit i rymden och även på månen. Så om om du nu litar på han så kan du lägga ner detta tramset. Eller cherrypickar du även vad han säger?
Van Allen var mycket konsekvent i vad han sa om saken, och backade aldrig om sina publicerade uttalanden, som dessa:
"So far, the most interesting and least expected result of man's exploration of the immediate vicinity of the earth is the discovery that our planet is ringed by a region - to be exact, two regions - of high energy radiation extending many thousands of miles into space.
The discovery is of course troubling to astronauts; somehow the human body will have to be shielded from this radiation, even on a rapid transit through the region.
[...]
Unless some practical way can be found to shield space-travelers against the effects of the radiation, manned space rockets can best take off through the radiation-free zone over the poles."
