Space Radiation Linked to Cancer-Causing Biological Cascade
Original: Space Radiation Sparks A Biological Cascade Of Cancer
New coverage from Universe Today reports that space radiation can trigger a biological cascade leading to cancer. The report describes how radiation encountered beyond Earth's protective atmosphere damages cells in ways that may set off cancerous processes, a concern for astronauts on long-duration missions. Discussion centers on the health risks of deep-space travel and what it means for plans to send humans to the Moon and Mars.
Why now: Renewed interest in astronaut health and long-duration missions like Mars exploration keeps space radiation risks in the news
