They say the study was published in the “Advancing Earth and Space Science Journal”, without mentioning the authors, date, or title.

“Advancing Earth and Space Science” is the tagline of the American Geophysical Union, which has 24 journals—none of which are actually called the “Advancing Earth and Space Science Journal”. Presumably they were reading an article from one of those journals on the AGU website, and mistook the tagline at the top of the page for the journal name.

So does anyone know what study they’re actually referring to?

Following the study, which was published in the Advancing Earth and Science Journal, the researchers found that it would not possible for humans to stay on Mars long-term.

They found that human exposure to radiation threats, including particle radiation from the Sun, distant stars, and galaxies, would exceed safe levels after four years on the planet.

Is this on the surface, or below ground? I thought it was a common assumption that until we get a magnetic shield up and do a bit of terraforming, any long-term habitats would have to be subsurface.

Four years seems like a bizarre number, and the sources aren't linked to. I feel like this may be AI generated nonsense

Four years??? I assumed humans would struggle to survive four minutes on Mars!

Can we still go tho?

That headline makes it sound like the human lifespan is <4 years

The MCR would like a word.
