    Can you elaborate? I never knew that was an issue for pilots?

    Yep. The atmospere reduces or filters cosmic / solar radiation - the higher you go the more you get. It wasn't so much of an issue until we started going over the North pole (shorter flight times) and we were limited as to how many polar flights we could do a year for health reasons.

    One of my first officers had a geiger counter - it was not fun listening to it.

    https://www.nasa.gov/centers/langley/science/polar-radiation.html#:~:text=Exposure to radiation has been,risk%2C according to numerous studies.&text=At the poles%2C however%2C radiation,the altitude where jets fly.

    Would have thought the chem trails you were spreading would have offered some sort of shielding.

    I would refer you to the conspiracy thread.

    I actually got goosebumps watching that successful landing having met one of the Aussies that has worked on this mission.

    The CSIRO here will be heavily involved in tracking the Perseverance now that it’s on Mars.

    @act-crusader Yeah, it's pretty amazing. Also, how much faster did they get the first images compared to when the first Mars Landers arrived on the planet years ago!
