Plus they will be away from Earth for long periods of time. Humans are optimized for life on Earth. Living anywhere else will cause stress for the organism.
That will lead to the failure of the program.

And what do you do once you are there other than admire the view?
A few years eating veggie mush grown in human waste and washed down with water recycled from the same will get old.

I’ve read that all the Apollo astronauts got cardiovascular disease from radiation exposure, so it’s not just cancer.
On average they still lived normal lives because they received excellent health care.

I think the magnetosphere shields life for cosmic rays. Should it be disrupted we’ll fry like bacon.

People with thick skins need not worry.
So, let’s send just liberals to Mars. And keep them there, permanently.

So what protected the Apollo astronauts in not only their flight to the moon but their walk as well?

Radiation exposure is cumulative over time.
The quickest solution is to make the trip in 10 minutes or less.

I’d imagine they’ve already considered generating some sort of artificial electromagnetic field around the spacecraft.

I have been deriding this fantasy of a manned mission to Mars since day 1 for this very reason.
