The Radioactivity Addendums p. 170
# 2 James A. Van Allen
During the late 1950's, James A. Van Allen, the official discoverer of the Van Allen Belt which is
our Earth's solar radiation shield, spent millions of government dollars launching high altitude
balloons that when at peak altitude fired rockets into space. Nicknamed Rockoons, they carried Geiger
counters because Van Allen, like Tesla 50 years before, also exspected to find energetic particles that
were dangerous to man.
On page 39 of the March, 1959 issue of Scientific America, Van Allen wrote an article entitled
RADIATION BELTS AROUND THE EARTH". The subhead said, Instruments borne aloft
by artificial satellites and lunar probes indicate that our planet is encircled by two zones of highenergy
particles, against which space travelers will have to be shielded."
In the beginning of his experiments everyone was puzzled because the counts of the onboard
Geiger counters would rapidly climb with altitude and then drop abruptly to zero. On a hunch they
finally included a second Geiger counter shielded by one millimeter (.042 inch) of lead to reduce the
effect of the highest energy particles and shield out most of the slower ones. By this method it was
soon determined that the high counts involved 25,000 hits per second with a peak bombardment of
40,000 particles per square centimeter per second. These high counts started at about 15,000 miles out
from the equator and continued for another 15,000 miles. It then became obvious that the original
Geiger counters had been overwhelmed by "an enormously high level of radiation."
At that time he also stated that at 30 miles above the Earth the Geiger counters became continuously
busy. The word continuous is the operative word here! This altitude places both shuttle
missions and the Mir space station under continuous influx. They warn us about Radon in our basements
but they send people to spend months in this environment.
High altitude radiation is also shown by the fact that when the radiation count reaches 10
millirems (.01 rem), the SST which usually flies a great circle course over the pole at 65,000 feet is
ordered to greatly reduce altitude. Should the dosage rise to 100 rem they must also change course
away from the polar zone. A space ship going to the Moon will spend about three hours coming and
going through these radiation belts. Then it will spend days in space traveling to the Moon and back
in the thin hulled LEM and more days sitting under our deadly Sun on the surface of the Moon where
there is no ozone, no clouds, no shade and no Van Allen shield. How much radiation is in space Nasa
claims from little to none!
When he wrote the article, Van Allen, suspected that solar emissions were the cause of the
radiation, a suspicion later found to be correct. He had this to say, "In this theoretical scheme the radiation
belts resemble a leaky bucket, constantly refilled from the sun and draining away into the atmosphere.
A particularly large influx of solar particles causes the bucket to "slop over," mainly in the
auroral zone, generating visible auroras, magnetic storms and related disturbances."
As early as 1963, NASA engineers and scientists wrote a book entitled "Aeronautical
Engineering & Science" where they stated that even minor solar storms would give people 25 rem per
hour through a one centimeter thick aluminum hull. Because the metal on the LEM's hulls were less
than .002 inches thick, that 25 rem must be much higher. And the metal of the command capsule walls
wasn't much thicker than that of the Lem..
From NOAA solar records we find that there were 134,793 visible solar storms of all sizes
and powers during the 25 year period from 1967 through 1991. This is an average of 14.77 storms per
day. If each of these lasted only an hour (they last much longer), the average total minimum rem per
day in space for anything organic that is above the Van Allen Belt, is 369 rem. In 32 short hours all
living things except cockroaches, some bacteria and certain viruses would be dying.
This is why John Mauldin (ex-NASA astrophysicist) in his book "Prospects For Interstellar
Travel" wrote that "at least 2 meters (6 feet) of solid shielding" is needed to protect "all living
organisms". Anything less is suicide! This is what the men of science had to say about radiation in
space. NASA's spin doctors claim that men can live after 500 rems and that space has very little
radiation.
