Space Radiation Won't Stop NASA's Human Exploration

How can you not love NASA?! NASA is our only surviving beacon of hope for a nation full of bitter and outraged cattle. Regardless of the many dangers of space radiation that can rip apart everything including metal, penetrate and alter DNA, and disrupt cellular processes, NASA remains confident of manned Mars missions... "Some people think that radiation will keep NASA from sending people to Mars, but that's not the current situation," said, Pat Troutman, NASA Human Exploration Strategic Analysis Lead. "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." That guy did not read this article. "challenge" is an understatement of epic proportion.

While it's true that space radiation is one of the biggest challenges for a human journey to Mars, it's also true that NASA is developing technologies and countermeasures to ensure a safe and successful journey to the red planet.
