Ok, so I decided to start watching Whites "Radioactive Anomaly"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xlKooAbKpMI watched part 1. He details that in the late 1990s-early 2000s scientists learned that some solar flares reach close to the speed of light. There is no indication that this was known in the 1960s and 1970s. He cites several sources that astronauts caught out in the open would be in pretty bad shape.
His one line referring to the apollo missions is along the lines him musing how the astronauts would have not had effects while being subject to those flares. He makes no mention of whether such flares did actually hit the astronauts. He also notes some radiation levels in the belt, notes they are twice what humans should absorb, but doesn't indicate the effects of shielding.
He spends some time quoting some forum user named "svector" who swears at him a lot. Unless I missed it, he doesn't indicate that svector is anyone in particular. Not sure how some random internet abuser is relevant to much.
It may be that some of these issues are clarified in later episodes, but I'm going to post as I go along. Otherwise I'll forget.
Anyone else have a different impression of episode 1? I was not terribly impressed.
