I guess my radiation isn’t as big as a problem as I thought, but based on the aldrin cycles idea and setting up structure/habitat I’d still guess I wouldn’t see it in my lifetime. Although placing something in the aldrin cycle in my lifetime would be pretty amazing.

Not until there’s a massive breakthrough in space travel. I believe we lack the technology to block the radiation during the trip to mars and would basically be a death sentence. Also, wouldn’t we have to build structures prior to arrival to stay in because radiation levels are so high? I’m 38, I honestly don’t think I’ll see it in my life.
