So in 1969 we sent them through this region in a coke can and everything was fine but now we have to worry about PEOPLE going through this region ? With a vastly superior , much better constructed vehicle … but not safe for people yet.
The entire premise with the Van Allen Belt is exposure to radiation. That means two variables: the amount of radiation and the time that the object or person will be exposed.
In 1969 the path through the VAB was basically a straight line, at 24,000 mph. The resultant rads were considered well inside acceptable ranges of exposure for the amount and time the radiation was going to be present.
Now the guy in the video doesn't say this, but every diagram and demonstration in this video shows the spacecraft orbiting the Earth in increasing circles. Which means he's not talking about being in the VAB for roughly 50 minutes one way (which was the amount of time in the moon shot) but basically orbiting for an extended period of time in the belt. He also mentioned the speed of 17,000 mph, which is significantly slower than the 1969 launch.
That alone could explain the difference. If the exposure in 1969 was 50 minutes and with this spacecraft the plan is to orbit within the belt for 12 hours, there's your conspiracy solved.
I don't think there's any "gotcha" moment there. i think the guy was just reading a fairly clumsily worded script.
