> Shorter periods of exposure to space radiation and microgravity could help mitigate its effects on the human body.
Of course once astronauts are on mars they will still be exposed to radiation, until some sort of shielding can be built.
Which would be an obscene undertaking, and involves moving lots of raw and refined materials to mars.
Which means hopefully the price of this rocket to get stuff off of earth is dirt cheap, because moving squishy humans to Mars, no matter the speed, is not the limiting factor! (Getting humans to Mars and keeping them alive there is!)
