"Dear wife, I've decided to risk my life by going on an experimental mission to the moon. Yes, you heard me right I said I'm going to the moon. Don't laugh I'm being serious. I'm going to do it on behalf of the entire human race even though nobody asked me to do it for them. I might blow up on the way or there might be hostile aliens out there which follow me back to earth and kill everybody. I'm not 100% sure if it's ethical for me to walk on everybody's moon and there's also the question of God etc. That's the bad news, the good news is that if I do make it back alive I will be famous for risking my life and our love for nothing. I hope you don't mind. I love you. Wish me luck?".

"Dear human race, American here, I'm bored of bombing women and children so I've decided to walk on the moon instead. Yay me! I've said goodbye to my wife and family in case I suffocate or freeze to death on the way. I can't wait to soil the surface of the moon for you with my big clumsy dirty feet. USA! USA! USA!"

"We choose to put a baby killer on the moon not because it's easy but because it's hard. People ask why do that? Well, why cross the atlantic?"

They were already working on that in 1960! Turns out by surrounding themselves with conductive materials, hardening their electrical systems, and not loitering in the areas of highest activity they would actually obtain more overall exposure from their time spent outside the belts - here's an interesting pdf that has tons of detail about the dosimeters used, average exposure of each mission, and the rules for what to do in the events of various solar events during the mission(s).

Have you got any actual proof which we can verify ourselves or do you only have stories to share with everybody? I mean, you didn't come up with the idea, you weren't there, you didn't go, and you have no independently verifiable scientific evidence so why should anybody believe you? Why would married men risk their lives for nothing?

If you like sharing stories then you should read this PDF: http://triggs.djvu.org/djvu-editions...V/Download.pdf.
