This is a space *history* group, you know. We're supposed to
discuss stuff when it's not current news.

(Is five years long enough for something to be history, in this
field?)

A great guy as well as a great scientist. When we were researching our book The First Space Race: Launching the World's First Satellites (Texas A&M, 2004), my coauthor Erika flew to the office he still kept in the Van Allen Building at Iowa State and spent a day taping interviews. She reurned shaking her head, saying, "He remembers everything he did in 1958." Later, I phoned him and asked if he'd write a Foreword to our book, which he immediately agreed to. I think it was his last published writing.
Ad Astra, Jim.

Historically on Usenet, "RIP" (Rest in Peace) is used to indicate
someone has RECENTLY died. In other groups, this week we saw "RIP
William Windom" and "RIP Phyllis Diller" for example.

If you just want to talk about Dr. Van Allen's contributions, a
subject of "James Van Allen" is more than sufficient. More directly,
"James Van Allen and the Van Allen Belts" would be good too,
considering tomorrow's launch of RBSP. But "RIP" seems to be
announcing his death.

And five years since his passing is irrelevant, Dr. Van Allen's
contributions are certainly part of history and well worthy of
discussion here ven were he still living.

He wasn't allowed to publish anything that wasn't moderated by his ZNR
peers.

The hot and cold hard truths about radiation in space hasn't been
told, much less about the gamma and hard X-rays of our naked and
physically dark moon.

The new evidence pertaining to dark matter and the aether might have
greatly helped James Van Allen to research deeper into the local and
cosmic radiation issues.

Yes, it is a vast ZNR conspiracy to keep secret the facts that there are radiation hazards in space.....

It's obviously location, location, location plus the collective full-
body extent of exposure that counts, and Van Allen had many things to
say about it, but wasn't allowed to freely publish it.

What's keeping the naked moon itself from reacting to solar and cosmic
radiation, or that of collecting and holding onto solar particles?

He was all of those things, save one: Dr. Van Allen was never
associated with Iowa State. The Van Allen building is on the
University of Iowa campus, roughly 100 miles east of the city of Ames.

Sorry for the late posting; I'm just getting back onto Usenet.
