Hello Leopold, Ocreditor, Shay, Josy (where is Josy? She has not been seen here on the GPWA since January 11), Luke AffAlliance, Phil AffAlliance and the rest of my good friends here at the GPWA.
How are you all going? 
I just wanted to share another story of space with you guys. This is a very interesting one, and I'm surethatOcreditor will like it the most.
I have always loved space ever since I can remember, It's always fascinated me and blown my mind. I bet that there's still so much for us humans to learn, that we really haven't even started to scratch the surface yet. We've still got a long way to go.
Anyway, on to the story for you and here it is. I hope that you will enjoy this story, just like the other ones.
Why space radiation won’t stop human space exploration
Space radiation effects – from solar storms and, even more importantly, from galactic cosmic rays – are known to be harmful to astronauts exploring beyond Earth’s protective magnetic field. The most important potential negative health effect is cancer, but there’s also evidence for cataracts and damage to the cardiovascular and central nervous system from space radiation. NASA has been exploring potential physical, biological and operational countermeasures. The short video above – released by NASA on October 12, 2017 – talks specifically about space radiation and the journey to Mars. Pat Troutman, NASA Human Exploration Strategic Analysis Lead, commented in the video above:
Some people think that radiation will keep NASA from sending people to Mars, but that’s not the current situation. When we add the various mitigation techniques up, we are optimistic it will lead to a successful Mars mission with a healthy crew that will live a very long and productive life after they return to Earth.
If you want more about NASA’s current understanding of space radiation as it relates to the human exploration of space, watch the 1-hour video below. It’s a recorded talk from October 9, 2017 by Jack Miller of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, California. Miller has a Ph.D. in experimental relativistic heavy ion physics from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Bevalac. His research interests have included: interactions of galactic cosmic radiation and solar particles in matter and biological organisms, with applications to mitigation of radiation effects on humans in space; experimental tests of nuclear fragmentation and transport models; development of spacecraft and habitat radiation shielding; and development of radiation instrumentation for use in human space flight. The talk is called Space Radiation and its Impact on Human Exploration of the Solar System. You’ll find an extended bio for Jack Miller here.
