Doing science, 36,000 feet up in the air. 1 microsievert.

That reading I got is totally normal and actually pretty fascinating. I was picking up cosmic radiation space which is constantly showering Earth with high-energy particles.

If you're collecting money for them, you're a scammer.

If you're an investor putting money into such a project, you're so dumb that you deserve being scammed.

Before trips to Mars, we need better protection from cosmic rays Outside Earth's protection, space travellers will be routinely exposed.

New Research Uncovers Hidden Health Risks for Frequent Fliers Aviation News – While flying remains the safest mode of transport, scientists are discovering increasing health risks tied to the commercial flight environment, presenting particular dangers to those who fly often, such as aircrew and frequent business travelers. Researchers, including those from Harvard, are focusing on less visible threats that exist at cruising altitude. Statistically, an individual faces a much greater chance of injury or death in a car crash.

As space agencies and companies like SpaceX prepare for future crewed missions to Mars, a new study brings an important warning: humans can only safely stay on Mars for up to four years. After that, exposure to cosmic radiation could become fatal.
