Quoting from exactly the same page you linked as a reference in your
post:
"An object satellite shielded by 3 mm of aluminium will receive about
2,500 rem (25 Sv) per year".
Following the link that claimed that below, we find the presumed orbit
for such a satellite is highly elliptical from 200 to 20,000 miles.
The shielding of this satellite is 1.0g/cm^2. The Apollo command
module only has shielding of 0.25g/cm^2.

I would think these high energy particles would have damaged your
retina in just a few hours.
