Exceot for the Apollo mission to the moo, has anything living been beyond the Van Allen radiation belt?

Question

...I was listening to a conspiracy theorist on the radio, and it got me wondering. I looked up the Van Allen belt on wikipedia and it really didnt say...

Answer 1

well, "moo" is a word (recognized by spellcheck as properly spelled) and could be linked to the Cow jumping over the Moon (being laughed at by the dog?)

A tortoise (along with flies and worms) was sent around the Moon by the Soviets in 1968, and recovered at sea after the trip.

Some Apollo missions had mice on board (Apollo 17?)

Answer 2

im pretty sure no, from what ive heard

Answer 3

Some conspiracy theorists say the government has a reverse-engineered space ship that can go to Mars and back in a few minutes.  I don't know if these are the same ones who say we haven't even gone to the moon yet, but with them you never can tell.

Answer 4

you have other issues: it was apollo missionS, plural.

and, no, no humans have been that high before or since.

conspiracy theorists are idiots.

Answer 5

Manned flights have not gone beyond, but a number have gone into. The Gemini 10 and Gemini 11 flights set altitude records that saw them skim the inner belt, and the shuttle and ISS routinely pass through a region of the belt called the Southern Magnetic Anomaly, which is a distorted section that dips down into the orbital path of the ISS.
