How can man travel to another planet ? the radiation will kill them before they arrive or soon after?

Question

gamma rays in paticular...will they have to cure cancer and other diseases that my pop up?...also our bodies are addicted to gravity

Answer 1

Not nessecerily... when the time comes to migrate to another planet with high radiation, ie Mars, we would have gamma ray, and other radiation, resistant materials within the buildings.. Mars has a very, VERY, thin atmosphere and that does very little, if nothing at all, to reduce radiation, thats why all life on that planet is dead(all bacterial anyways)..... Anyways... the cosmonuats at the ISS(international space station) do spacewalks(go out into the non atsmospheric vaccum we call space) almost everyday.... In "Space" there is nothing stoping the radiation.... Except for the space suits the cosmonauts wear...

Answer 2

1) The radiation in space isn't nearly that bad. An hour in space is about equal to a day on the Earth, radiation-dosage-wise. It's just the Van Allen belts you want to avoid. But since there's a gap in them, that's not hard.

2) There are very few gamma rays in space. A few from the Sun, some from other sources (grbs, sgrs, supernovae).

3) We're already working on curing cancer.

4) 'Addicted'? Mass is attracted to mass. That's gravity. And we have mass, and so do planets.

Answer 3

The first part of your question has been answered already by several people (all good answers).
The point about our bodies being "addicted" to gravity is rather humorous.
First, addictions can be cured.
Second, we aren't addicted to gravity, we can survive for months in a zero gravity or microgravity environment. And for long-term space missions, spinning the ship to create artificial gravity (by centrifugal force) is certainly viable.
Third, when we travel to another planet - lo and behold! we will find gravity there.

Answer 4

I think, a scientist may correct me, that we are still too far away from travelling to another planet. And expensive because some people have come out with a half trillion bucks price tag for a possible trip to Mars. Not that it is impossibe, but difficult. Very difficult. Maybe in ten to twenty years we may have an answer if is possible or not. I doubt I will be sent: I'll be old, in my seventies.

Answer 5

i think every one has answered the first two parts, but yes, your body is addicted to gravity, realatively speaking. If you spend all of your life on earth at 1g, then you spend a year straight in 0g, your muscles and tendons and everything that you use against the force of gravity here on earth would haven probably wilted away to almost nothing. You would probably not be able to stand up let alone, get up off your back after you came back down to earth.

Answer 6

astronauts wear special cloths that protect them, but in a long time universe rays can cause some diseases on mind and other part of body.

Answer 7

All those problems can be shielded against.

Answer 8

???
Where did you get all this bs?
