	During the journey the astronauts are subject to [[radiation]], which requires means to protect them. [[Cosmic radiation]] and [[solar wind]] cause DNA damage, which increases the risk of cancer significantly. The effect of long term space travel in the interplanetary space is unknown, but scientists estimate up to 19% probability for male persons to die of cancer because of the radiation during the journey to Mars and back to Earth. Together with the base probability of 20% for a male person on Earth to die from cancer this gives a probability of 35%. For women the probability is even higher due to their larger glandular tissues.		During the journey the astronauts are subject to [[radiation]], which requires means to protect them.

	Good radiation shielding means heavy space ships, and heavy space ships can not be lifted from a planet's surface to an orbit. The only possible way to use such a heavy space ship for more than just a handful of people is to keep it on a cyclic trajectory, commuting between Earth' orbit and Mars' orbit. Legacy rocketry can provide lifting and landing.		Good radiation shielding means heavy space ships, and heavy space ships can not be lifted from a planet's surface to an orbit.
