| Jun 11, 2015 at 13:03 | comment | added | LocalFluff | @VedantChandra Your link doesn't work for me, maybe you could repost it? And is your conclusion that the Apollo program really just gambled for good space weather, and would've failed if the Sun had had a bad day at the wrong time. | |
| Jun 11, 2015 at 12:49 | comment | added | Vedant Chandra | All your answers are in this document: hq.nasa.gov/alsj/tnD7080RadProtect.pdfhttps://www.hq.nasa.gov/…. My understanding is that they protected the astronauts from radiation by (apart from using regular shielding) simply doing everything as quick as they could. They thus limited the radiation exposure. | |
