Exposure, even of short duration, to the most intense parts of these radiation belts being fatal, the protection of astronauts by adequate shielding and the selection of trajectories minimizing exposure is necessary.
Only Apollo astronauts who traveled to lunar orbit passed through the Van Allen belt.
They spent a few minutes in the inner belt consisting of energetic protons and one and a half hour in the outer belt of low energy electrons.
The inclination of the Moon's orbit was such that the tori were not crossed at their center and the trajectory avoided the most energetic sections.

Finally, doses received during lunar missions - including belt crossing and exposure to cosmic radiation - were relatively low.
The Apollo 14 astronauts were the most exposed with an absorbed dose at the skin of 1.14 rad, or 11.4 milligrays.
Considering a skin weighting factor of 0.01 and a radiation weighting factor of 20 (the most penalizing case), the Apollo 14 astronauts received a dose of 2.24 millisieverts; by comparison, the annual limit for nuclear workers in France is 20 millisieverts.

Did red this on wiki, didn't know about thoses infos, nice to know and it was because of flat earth comment about van allen belt :D ;) XD

Earth is a cube seriously.

Earth can't be a sphere unless you're treating it as a sphere with super-massive property.

You can't really fathom Earth in mind; best to stop trying.

Where's a view of Earth without the camera?

Don't use a drawn cube as reference; why not call a drawn cube Earth if Earth is a cube? It's just how mind's relate in their super-massive property.

I don't think it was because of flat earthers. The belt is real and they had to consider the implications of going through it and put in effort to minimize exposure. It was an important aspect of the mission, so people have written about it.

Card was trying to argue / equate the belt with the dome and that it was some impenetrable wall of plasma at one point.

It's super-massive and thus can't be sphere'd by the mind, can only be perceived one quadrant at a time; so it's classed a time, or a cube, to a cubic mathematician.

A sphere you can hold can be looked down upon so a half or two thirds can be seen - you can't do that with Earth so there's no way someone's telling me it's spherical if they can't do it themselves...

Good guesswork though I guess.

"I called it a sphere when I took at least four pictures to see all of the Earth, but what I really constructed was cubic".

Supermassive a better term, I guess.

Earth is supermassive, like my penis.

He gave up though when his own source described a magnetosphere and I kept chiming in with "checkmate motherfucker."
