343. You do realize that the Van Allen belts won't kill you instantly right?
its mostly made up of charged particles from the solar wind interacting with Earth's magnetosphere. The key is they are CHARGED particles, with a positive or negative charge, and hence can be neutralized using electricity. We have never bombed them, you are a fool to think so, I don't know where you come up with half the stuff you stated, its not based in reality, I know that.

Armstrong didn't need shielding because he, and other Apollo astronauts were exposed to the Van Allen belts for a very short period of time.

Oh, and I cannot believe you are defending your sig line, how the hell do you reconcile this with, for example, Native American tribes that are or were matrilineal and yet still hunted animals?
