Chris, the video is about the damage the radiation can cause the computers and electronics, the things that will cause them to CRASH or be lost in space if they malfunction.
Apollo did not use modern computers. They used a completely different type of technology called "magnetic core memory". Magnetic core memory is nearly impervious to EMPs and radiation, but it is not used anymore and hasn't been since the 70s and 80s because integrated circuits, which modern computers use, are cheaper and faster.
Meanwhile, integrated circuits constantly have problems with radiation because the smaller you make them, the easier it becomes to corrupt and damage them and protecting them is so difficult and expensive that by the time your specialized parts are produced, they're already obsolete.
Would you say that we should drive Flintstones cars because a stone wheel can never get a flat tire?
(Also, as an aside, you realize that they're exaggerating... right? It wasn't a technical production. It was a PR video to hype a test they did literally a month later.
Keep in mind that what you say depends on who your audience is. Most people that are not scientifically read or part of this hoax debate know little about the belts, if they've even heard of them at all. They won't understand why the ship needs to be tested unless you tell them what you're testing against and why)

@appletongallery Apple, about ten years ago, I took a digitla photography class because I needed some sort of art class for my major. I did an assignment where I took panning shots of the cars driving by my house. Now being the master class photographer I am, i held my camera at arm's length and took pictures without using the viewfinder. I STILL got about 10-20% good shots and that was with one afternoon. Taking photographs without a view finder is a skill that can be PRACTICED, and they had months of training with their equipment. It is nowhere near as impressive as blind people that paint.
Furthermore, there are THOUSANDS of photographs. Many of them are bad. Why don't you see them??
Because NASA aren't idiots and hire professional editors to sort through the trash and select the best ones for publication. Unless you've actively gone looking fot hem, you've seen maybe 40-50. You haven't seen the out of focus ones. You haven't seen the badly exposed ones. You generally only see the ones that have been deemed fit for publication and the rest sit in a vault gathering dust..
Also, i would like to point out that 95% of them are rocks and terrain, things that would be "perfectly framed" if you were in the same post code.
The real kicker here is that even the ones they do show are NOT perfect. You know that famous photographs of the Man on the Moon? It's EDITED. The original photograph is badly framed, so they cropped it and added a fake black sky because the top of the pack was cut off.
Gee, i guess the professional studio photographic crew didn't use their viewfinder on that one.
