Sunstroke / Chap. 15 p. 135
To sum up we have McKinnon, the governments own expert, telling us: "A probability
of 10-20% should be considered a low probability for class M events, ..." Only a large flare
can be a class M which a medium X-ray emitter event. He also says that at least 1 % will be
the deadliest of solar storms, Class X. 20
In the first chart in this chapter, on page 126, there is complete list of the flares for 25
years. The total number of flares for the period is 134,793. This averages out to 5,391 flares
per year or 14.76 per day. The Apollo astro-nots spent a total of 85 days in space. Thus
during that period of time the average number of flares that could be expected was 1254. If
we use chart number 2, which contains the monthly totals for these same periods of time, we
find the total to be 1485 flares. This increase is expected because the trips took place at the
high end of that solar cycle.
To send all these missions to the Moon without reporting severe radiation problems,
NASA is effectively telling us is that not one flare emitted heavy X-Rays or protons during
this time period. But McKinnon's probability of 1 % would mean, at least, 13 super deadly
flares of X rated capacity or over one per mission. In addition they should have been exposed
to 268 M class (medium) flares which is 1/5 of the total number. M class flares are also
deadly without the 2 meters of shielding. Referring again to the chart on p. 256 of
Astronautical Engineering... we see that any hull of one cm thickness would have allowed
70,000 rem for each intermediate flare into the module and many times more from an X-
rated flare.
Mauldin states: "Cosmic particles are dangerous, come from all sides, and require at least
2 meters of solid shielding around all living organisms." "Solar (or star) flares of protons, an
occasional and severe hazard on the way out of and into planetary systems, can give doses of
hundreds to thousands of rem over a few hours at the distance of Earth. Such doses are fatal
and millions of times greater than the permitted dose. Death is likely after 500 rems in any
short time, . . . " 2I
Since the whole capsule was only 13 feet in diameter, 2 meters (6 feet) of hull on each
side would have left a space in the center about 1 foot in diameter. Therefore all 27 of the
astro-nots who went to the Moon should be dead from radiation. Yet, all lived to tell the tale.
Were they protected by miracles
I also find it very suspicious that Aldrin spoke of space radiation only once in his last
book. He is refering to the Gemini 3 mission, well under the Van Allan shield, when he
writes, "As the crew began testing the effects of weightlessness and radiation on biological
samples, ..." 22
There's one more interesting tidbit that I ran across. Just before re-entry, the standard
procedure on all the Apollo missions was to send the service module on a trip toward the
Sun. Mr. Hurt summarized it this way, "... Mission control reprogrammed the rocket's
remains to veer away from the Moon and enter solar orbit to be burned up by the heat of the
sun." 23
At first I believed that this statement meant that the module was sent into the Sun.
Before one can send a module into the Sun (literally by braking the rocket so that it slows
down enough to fall into the Sun) you must know its current attitude and the direction of its
