chartpolski 27,356 Posted June 4 Report Share Posted June 4 It’s difficult to describe the Van Allen belt in layman’s terms, but it isn’t a uniform sphere surrounding the earth Very, VERY basically, imagine a donut as the belt and a marble sitting in the hole, as the earth. Im not an astrophysicist, so I can only go by what they tell us, but this may give an idea how a spacecraft can get past the Van Allen belt. Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mate, I f you disbelieve everything that’s fine, but do a little research and you’ll find plenty of pictures of earth. I find it strange that you only look for the impossible, never the possible.
