If you have a 5% of dying in transit or at Mars due to equipment failure, as well as a 2% increased chance of getting cancer at some time in the future, the first obviously is the one to worry about.
- M_Grey 10y agoIt's going to be dangerous enough on Mars, without adding those factors in. Worse, it's going to be difficult if the person who dies is in a critical position. You would have some redundancy in personnel, but that's costly in terms of Delta-v too, for them, and for everything it takes to keep them alive.
