On Famed Astronaut, Alan Bean, Once Proclaiming In an Interview that They Didn't Go Through the Van Allen Radiation Belts and When He Was Corrected About it Simply Saying, "Well We Must Have Travelled Right Through it Then"

So the guy was fucking clueless, in other words (the upshot being that either NASA sent a guy though one of the most dangerous parts of the Solar System without his full knowledge or Bean himself was part of the charade). Wonderful, huh, these chaps with the "right stuff"?
