Whoops. Down here on Earth, our magnetic field protects us from high speed particles. It not just protects us, it does the job beautifully: charged particles interacting with the magnetic field produce gorgeous auroras! If you have access to a cloud chamber, you can watch cosmic rays interacting with the vapour. They ;re common enough that one passes through an area the size of your hand about once a second, but that far fewer and generally lower-energy than what is experienced outside the protection of our planet magnetosphere. Any astronaut who leaves the protection of the Earth, like during the multi-year trip to Mars, will be exposed to a whole lot of these high-energy particles. The experiment looked at head-exposure only, so long-duration astronauts on prolonged space missions better think about some seriously high-grade radiation shielding.
