Plus they will be away from Earth for long periods of time. Humans are optimized for life on Earth. Living anywhere else will cause stress for the organism.
That will lead to the failure of the program.

It’s a shielding problem that needs to be solved.

And what do you do once you are there other than admire the view?
A few years eating veggie mush grown in human waste and washed down with water recycled from the same will get old.

"The
Oh-My-God particle was an ultra-high-energy
cosmic ray detected on the evening of 15 October 1991 over Dugway Proving Ground, Utah, by the University of Utah's Fly's Eye Cosmic Ray Detector.[1][2]
Its observation was a shock to astrophysicists (hence the name), who estimated its energy to be approximately 3×1020 eV or 3×108 TeV. This is 20000000 times more energetic than the highest energy measured in electromagnetic radiation emitted by an extragalactic object[3] and 1020 (100 quintillion) times the photon energy of visible light.
The particle had a kinetic energy of 48 joules, equivalent to a 142-gram (5 oz) baseball travelling at about 26 m/s (94 km/h; 58 mph). "

I’ve read that all the Apollo astronauts got cardiovascular disease from radiation exposure, so it’s not just cancer.
On average they still lived normal lives because they received excellent health care.
