Space Radiation the Big Killer
The future of space flight, exploration and even the future of commercialization of space for space mining, space tourism and research depend on solving one very important issue. Space Radiation. Once outside Earth"s atmosphere we are no longer protected from the bombardment of X-rays, Gamma Rays and Space Radiation. Going into space as a space tourist would be a once in a lifetime event indeed; but surely you do not want to make it the last thing you ever do. After all you want to be able to come back and tell about it right? Well sure, so I propose that we put an energy ball out front of the spacecraft and keep it pointing towards the Sun the biggest maker of space radiation in our solar system. The ball would be on a poll connected to the craft with high tensile strength nanocarbon tubes attached to it from all corners of the spacecraft. Thru the poll and the guide wires we would send energy immersed in a liquid which would either collect the radiation to use for energy or repel it, sending it around the space craft by deflecting it slightly. Recently in an online think tank this subject was brought up with many possible answers in a brain storming session. If you have such ideas on how to stop the "big Killer" space radiation from stopping NASA"s Mission to the Moon and Mars and the future of the privatization of space, then you may wish to consider this in 2009.
