Supposedly:

Astronauts got through the Van Allen radiation belts by passing through them quickly, limiting exposure to only a couple of hours. Apollo missions navigated through the thinner, less intense areas of the belts at roughly 25,000 mph, and the spacecraft's aluminum hull provided sufficient shielding against the radiation.

Key Factors for Survival:

High Velocity: Traveling at extremely high speeds (~25,000 mph) minimized the time spent in the high-radiation zones, reducing the cumulative dose.

Trajectory Planning: NASA carefully planned flight paths to avoid the most intense inner cores of the belts, choosing trajectories that went through the weaker, outer regions.

Aluminum Shielding: The spacecraft’s structure, particularly the aluminum hull, was sufficient to block most of the radiation particles (protons and electrons).

Low Cumulative Dose: Because the exposure was short-lived, the radiation dose was well within acceptable safety limits for the astronauts, avoiding acute radiation sickness.

Did you know? The Apollo missions did not encounter a severe solar particle event (solar flare) while traversing the belts, which was a stroke of good fortune, as such an event could have made the journey dangerous.

i want to know what they did to avoid it this time; being that we have so much science to prove this now, I want to see them explain it.
