I thought they had this stuff figured out 50+ years ago. All you need is paper thin walls and you are good to go into the most dangerous region of space.
Whats funny is when they were talking about this 6 months ago, their reasoning was something along the lines of sending females to the moon, instead of men.
NASA recently announced the launch of what's described as a "bizarre experiment" that will see it send a pair of plastic dummies to the Moon to test the effect of space radiation on female astronauts.
Named Helga and Zohar, a report from the Daily Star said they will travel for six weeks around the moon on the Artemis I shuttle.
They will employ to test the impacts of space radiation on female adult humans ahead of a mission to send humans to the moon.
While this particular mission is designed and developed to allow women to ultimately travel to the moon by 2025, it will mean that mannequins reach the Earth's closest neighbor, an actual woman does, which may not be a triumph for feminism.
As being female or male would protect you up there.
In a statement NASA made in 2020 and updated early this year, the American space agency said astronauts on the Space Station are exposed to radiation levels approximately 50 times higher than that people on Earth had experienced.
It added that farther from the magnetic field of the Earth and into interplanetary space, the radiation exposure level during exploration missions could be much higher, up to 150 times more.
In addition to this, human beings exposed to huge amounts of radiation can encounter acute and chronic health issues ranging from immediate radiation sickness to developing severe illnesses like cancer for one, in the future.
If the apollo astronauts really made it there, its kind of a miracle none of them ended up sterile or crazy. Just from some random neutrino flying in from deep space.

And lots of foil and tape! TAPE!
