Would an 80s-era managed flyby of Venus been capable of shielding its crew from radiation once it left the protection of earth's magnetic field?

They never really got that far into the whole thing before Saturn V production was terminated, but its pretty clear that they did not take radiation risks into consideration. They also didn't have the data they'd need to know what the radiation levels were.

We need more women in STEM, and by that, I mean skateboarding, television, esports, and magic.
Between the CGI and the cartoon sections, this new Cosmos is sort of goofy. I know that the original Cosmos had a really goofy aesthetic as well, but that was sort of inevitable at that time given the tools at their disposal.

Also Bruno being executed for that belief is objectively wrong. So if they're gonna play the oppressed scientist by the evil church card maybe stick to actual facts?
