you are a total idiot... that's why I ignored you.
Yeah right.
You are the one who says heat cannot radiate without molecules. The Sun duh.
You are the one who refers to REM as a measurement of space radiation when it is the absorbed dose for a human being.
You are the one who thinks that space is somehow flooded with lethal radiation - which mysteriously doesn't burn out all the unmanned craft, satellites, the ISS or kill the occupants.
During solar maximum, the solar wind is actually LESS - I bet you didn't even know that did you. The solar wind is by far the major radiation component received on the Moon and in cislunar space. Very few of the CME events come towards Earth.
Don't call me an idiot - you type crap you pick up from google, only one of us actually understands it, and it ain't you. Now, what have you got? Show me some figures or some citations. Because the "hey look at the big bright Sun Spots" isn't quite cutting it.
Let's note here that you have no response whatsoever to the plain science of sun spots. When you have no idea how to argue with someone who actually knows the subject matter, just lower yourself to making up blatant Lies and claim that the other guy said it. Now let's look at how badly you twisted my words (where I can even guess WTF you are talking about). This post should suffice to show why I called you a total idiot, which, now considering it in retrospect, was far too kind.
"You are the one who says heat cannot radiate without molecules. The Sun duh."
heat cannot radiate without molecules??? That's not even English, it makes no sense, and I sure didn't say it.
What you are saying is that the absence of molecules in space might destroy Apollo's ability to shed heat off its skin through heat exchange, but it doesn't stop the sun from radiating heat into that skin, and it doesn't stop that same heat from convexing into the cabin since the pressurized cabin does have gas molecules. So, while in low earth orbit, flying at 17,000 mph through a thin layer of molecules that does shed heat from the skin, and the obvious shade from the earth reduces the heat buildup from the sun, results in the space ship environment becoming slightly cooled, the cabin was still warmed sufficiently by the heat release from the water coolers and the electronics to stay at "room temperature" ... but this whole equilibrium is lost once Apollo leaves for the moon. Sun radiates heat in the 3 inch aluminum skin and that heat is conveyed into the cabin, and very quickly the whole system builds to 250 degrees. So, yes, the Sun would have baked them alive, I think this is what you are twisting up...
The Apollo missions didn't have radiation cooling. This was the 1960's. You know what they called cabin cooling? Compressed air... and while that makes for a nice environment in low earth orbit, it isn't enough to cool down a 250 degree space craft; which is what you get when you take a 3 inch thick aluminum can into 24 hour sunlight. But they had "shake and bake"; rolling the craft 180 degrees, which supposedly cooled off the underside. and you have sheep who still believe that works. In reality, it doesn't matter how much you roll the craft, it produces no cooling, there's no heat exchange with space, there's no molecules to produce heat exchange. If they had really left low earth orbit, the crafts would have heated to 250 degrees in a matter of 1-3 hours, and since water boils at 220 degrees, they would have died in 1-3 hours from heat strokes... and their carcasses would have cooked while their craft flew outward in a space odyssey.
"You are the one who refers to REM as a measurement of space radiation when it is the absorbed dose for a human being."
It is a measurement of dosage. I think this is what you are twisting up...
major flares had hundreds of REM. (A Rad is the basic measurement of radiation; REM = Rad Equivalent Man... it refers to a dose of radiation resulting in one Rad deposited over the entire surface of a man or instrument or dog or whatever gets the dosage).
"You are the one who thinks that space is somehow flooded with lethal radiation - which mysteriously doesn't burn out all the unmanned craft, satellites, the ISS or kill the occupants."
Nothing mysterious about unmanned craft not being killed by lethal radiation. Radiation is lethal to humans, not metal. Satellites, however, are messed up by the Van Allen belts, that's why they orbit above or below the magnetosphere. (That would be due to the magnetism more than the radiation.) The ISS flies at roughly 250 miles up, where there is no radiation, which is amazingly stupid of you to point out, that's the whole point of the whole thread, but that's why I said you are a total idiot. But that might be unfair, you might be a damned bright ten year old for all I know. Then you've got this statement that radiation would burn out probes... whatever that's about.
What I said was period specific to the sun cycle; earth orbit space is filled with lethal radiation at solar maximum.

No, I'm sorry, you are every bit the total idiot I called you and more. What I have posted is common knowledge to the science of the sun. In fact it is so basic, you could consider it the first week of sun studies 101. You want figures or some citations to make it feel official? How about you go teach yourself the science? Then come back here and apologize when you discover how terribly, terribly ignorant your rant was. As for the REM measurements of Apollo missions, NASA has it posted online.
I'm done with you.
