Bingo.
And Yeah, and Duh.
We've had film available for decades that can survive not only the Van Allen radiation, but close exposure to the Sun, as well.
This argument is a dead issue. It was disprooved long ago, and literally
hundreds of thousandsof photographs exist that totally undermine the argument that photographs can't pass through the Van Allen belts.
Whoever argues along this line is pipe-dreaming, and inciting the fears of those who're not as well informed as we are.
In my mind, that's approaching on a criminal level of activity.
