I get a lot of BS answers about testing the effects of space on this or that substance, but that's it. Nothing has come of it so far as I can tell.
Those things are important but I agree that we need to see some results.
Personally I think we should be working on shielding against radiation for longer duration missions outside the cocoon.

Check out the Bigelow module. It's more resistant to radiation and micro meteorites than the ISS.
