How much life would survive if the cosmic-ray flux at the Earth's surface was 100,000 times higher?
How much life would survive if the Earth was 100,000 times, or even 100 times, closer to the sun?
Why did the radioisotope power plants on the Galileo and Cassini probes work as expected? |
I wonder if the nitwit knows that a manned mission to Mars is not feasible because the cosmic rays in space are extremely likely to cause cancer, down here not so much. |

...and its also common knowledge that cosmogenic radioisotope accumulate at at different rates in terrestrial time and space
