This research could be very valuable to NASA in its efforts to develop some form or radiation shielding for its space craft... Radiation exposure is the most significant obstacle to surmount in our efforts for long duration space flight, space flight above and beyond low Earth orbit.. Radiation shielding is an enabling technology to making both unmanned robotic and crewed space craft more affordable and protect our astronauts while on long voyages to explore the Solar System.. sciencedaily/releases/2014/06/140601150641.htm Affordable access to space is the challenge of the day.
