Quote by: compugasm There is no mention of death, or even short term health risks. Merely that the mission "isn't allowed". There have been people in the space station for a few months at time. So how much extra protection is needed to extend the journey from a few months, to a few years? |
Is the space station's orbit inside of, or outside of, the protective magnetic field?
A coupla magnets will require considerable energy. The whole damn trip will require a powerful energy source.
Such are the problems to be solved before Real Humans can be sent on a mission that artefacts can probably accomplish just as well.
Seems to me the notion of a manned mission to Mars is not very scientific.
