What's wrong with that...?
(hoaxed) FACT: even from Wikipedia (anti-hoax believer source), Apollo 8 had already traversed the radiation zones (both directions, plus deep space time too) with "human astronauts" in December 2018. So why didn't the subsequent 1969 paper use this data point? On easy explanation, though both parts of NASA on paper, the groups weren't sharing information (compartmentalization). You'd think with a big paper about radiation to be given at AIAA, they'd at least contact the Apollo 8 telemetry (even if faked), but no ... ?
Precisely.
Subsequent studies do not cite these alleged in situ readings. Ergo, the data is implicitly understood to be fraudulent.
Orion, the Van Allen belts & Space Radiation Challenges by Mary DM Bennett
The BIRD Radiation Detector report seemingly confirms that the dosimetry radiation data for the manned Apollo lunar flights was collected while remaining in low-Earth-orbit.
The fact that the Apollo data is out of synch with the ISS and Orion might explain why it is totally ignored by the industry today.
It would also explain the problems surrounding this BIRD report.
