It was just reported that the Earth was just hit by a Gamma Ray bursts. This is a high energy bursts of energy. Similar to a deep space nutrino bursts. Lots of deep space radiation. Something to think about for all you Deep space travel Geeks.

We have miles of atmosphere and the magnetic field surrounding the Earth protecting us as long as the burst isn't to close. It's a lot harder to shield a spaceship.

The OP rants about space exploration all the time. It's one of the only two topics he ever talks about.
Space travel could end up being the salvation of the human race.

Even today, we have lots of excellent stuff to show for what we’ve already accomplished in our limited exploration of space.
