I saw many good, seemingly well-informed answers to samantha's question. That is not one of the things I know much about. But I thought the shuttles covered a wide range of altitudes in the many missions. So none of the shuttle missions have been through the Van Allen belts? I thought they had. And the shuttle has better shielding than the Apollo craft, doesn't it?
Before anybody gets knee-jerk, I am not challenging the moon missions. I know we went and I get pi$$ed off at the people who deny that achievement for all those stupid reasons.
