regardless of the question of the safety of travelling beyond the earth, and ignoring the fact of the constant fluctuations of radiation emitted from the sun, it is one thing to stop circuitry from being fried by EMF, and another to stop a human from being terminally exposed to radiation
other than the apollo missions, there is no other empirical evidence (if you call the documentation on apollo empirical) of the safety of putting living things beyond the van allen belt. Why haven't any further efforts been made?
I think the answer is because they know it can't be done with present technology. Surely the russians would have had at least one stab at it if there was any truth to the apollo mission story.
