How are the odds calculated? Long-term radiation exposure is a serious life-time cancer risk so that would have to get factored in too unless they are going to drag a lot of really heavy shielding along.

I lost interest in NASA at a certain point in life (family) due to 99% not being safe enough. 99.9% would have been good, maybe even a hair less.
