They can't even get their story straight.
Listen carefully at around 3:36 to where the one of their engineers says: "We must solve this problem before we send people through this region of space” (the Van Allen radiation belt).
Cheery-picking quotes is not the same as reading carefully. What the video actually says:
"My name is Kelly Smith, and I work on navigation and guidance for Orion...Before we can send astronauts into space on Orion, we have to test all of its systems, and there’s only one way to know if we got it right; fly it in space.
[...]
As we get further away from Earth, we’ll pass through the Vann Allan Belts, an area of dangerous radiation. Radiation like this can harm the guidance systems, onboard computers, or other electronics on Orion. Naturally, we have to pass through this danger zone twice, once up and once back. But Orion has protection, shielding will be put to the test as the vehicle cuts through the waves of radiation. Sensors aboard will record radiation levels for scientists to study. We must solve these challenges before we send people through this region of Space."
The video is clearly describing a danger to the onboard electronics and not to the astronauts themselves.
Didn't they already send six manned crews through this region on the way to the moon in the Apollo missions?
If NASA is still working on testing the Van Allen radiation belt in order to solve that problem before they can send the astronauts through this region of space, than it is really amazing what the 1960’s engineers have done to solve that problem, who apparently created long lost and forgotten technologies, leading to the first lunar landing in 69'.
It would be suspicious if NASA
didn't claim to rigorously and exhaustively test new components and designs before putting astronauts in them. I'm sure you're aware that there have been drastic changes in computer electronics and miniaturization since the 1960s.
