Finally deflector shields are being developed to tackle
the outer space radiation problem.

See:

As profound Earth Science Team Officers hopefully set out into the
deepest reaches of space those developed radiation shields will be a
welcomed asset to help protect space crew members. Of course the Seans
must have licked that problem long ago but helping protect present Nasa
distant planet mission astronauts will be welcomed.

ponder on,
