    The article is actually encouraging and positive, as the researchers
    found ways to reduce the impact of radiation on astronauts
    travelling in space for extended journeys.

    It's not unreasonable to expect that when people are beyond Earth's
    sheltering atmosphere, and outside the magnetosphere, they will face
    hazards - and so if long journeys in space are to be made by humans,
    such as a trip to Mars, we will have to deal with those hazards.

    Oh it gets worse. Once outside the solar system, they'll need a foot of lead around the spacecraft to shield them. Now, if they just re-start Project Orion, none of it would matter because
    it could lift 10,000 TONS in one flight, easily enough to accommodate shielding and provisions for wherever they were going.
