The spacecraft has been notionally described as using a large water store to help shield occupants from space radiation
Darn. That was my idea decades ago. Should have patented it and shashimied it every 14 years.

I believe that the spaceship on which much of the action of Heinlein's Podkayne of Mars used water as a radiation shield. It was written in the early 1960s.
