When I was growing up, all the ‘sensible’ people said that we’d never land on the Moon.
I researched this a few years back, but memory is foggy.
IIRC, 24 humans have penetrated the Van Allen Belt to space and have been exposed to not only the trapped particles surrounding the Earth, but cosmic & solar radiation alike.
Not for weeks or months, but merely ‘days’. Researchers are devoid of any data whatsoever on the effects of long term exposure to solar & cosmic radiation, save for the experience of the Apollo missions (the oft-repeated citation, “They didn’t die.”).
From a scientific standpoint, it’s rather pathetic.
I’m majorly gobsmacked that this is being reported without any challenge whatsoever, just like ‘climate change’ adherents report all things human-caused.
