I am now almost certain that we need more radiation for better health.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It is likely that we need more radiation to improve our longevity.
In some cases radiation reduces the incidence of cancer.
At my age, the radiation will probably do me good.
If we go into space, we need enhancements that handle radiation and osteoporosis... or else we're dead. So what seems like an enhancement in one generation becomes life and death in another generation.
The life expectancy of people going to Mars may be decreased by the higher level of radiation that they receive.
There's a rising cancer trend and, as I said, one of the major contributors is the overall ageing of the population - we aren't dying of other things, so we're dying of cancer.
We need new medical approaches to preventing and/or curing disease. We need new scientific approaches to generating, storing, and being more efficient with energy. Maybe we need more space exploration. Maybe we need more undersea exploration.
One of the major problems with long-term deep space human flight is the requirement for radiation shielding.
The notion that the levels of radiation would be damaging to human life is preposterous. It's simply not true. It is a political claim more than it is a scientific claim. THAAD has been a thoroughly tested system, and it has been extremely effective.
Nobody could tell us or really had a very good idea, if there were a massive release of radiation, what kind of medical treatment people were going to need and this or that, or, indeed, whether there would be medical personnel around.
