The issues are due to the fact that modern satellites stay within the Van allen belts for quite a long time. It's not "navigating" them, it's staying within them, (or on the edges of them), for long periods without sustaining too much damage over that period due to radiation.
The point of the article was that simply going through the belts for a couple of hours was not a big deal and easily doable for the moon shot..
