[ RadSafe ] Mars Radiation Won't Harm Astronauts, Curiosity Rover Finds

[dlawrencenewyork at aol.com]

The curious part of this to me was when the AOL originally posted the link (The Huffington Post) it included in the teaser "Why Man May Never Walk on Mars". 


Now this article also ignores the spikes in high energy protons levels from the Sun due to coronal mass ejections. With no iron core this would not be deflected by the planet, let alone on the mission.


Best Regards,

Shane,

What a nice thought to travel and live on Mars in 400 years when I will be
468 years old! Nice to send all those billion starving people to Mars for a
better future! What an impetus for the industry to construct all these space
ship and especially the infrastructure!

Were you joking?

I think that there are more important and urgent problems on this tiny 
planet than settling on
Mars. (Irony off.)

Franz

Good news for those aspiring to go the distance...hopefully Dr. Hassler's
scientific report will be publicly available soon.  Or is it already
available?
