The strength if of what is in space is off the scale compared to in the atmosphere here on earth where lead does block certain radiations.

Even going up only thousands of feet in a plane can have us exposed to doses of radiation that would be like getting a full set of Xrays in a few hour trip.

Well, going to the moon or hanging out in space or going to mars is a far worse continuous dose of radiations.

A few times I heard it reported that if some of the sun flares were in our direction with the international space station exposed, the men up there could easily be killed.

It is THE serious issue and what keeps up out of space and Mars.
