Flying to Mars will be so rad, dude: Year-long trip may dump 60% lifetime dose of radiation on you

Six months?????

Nope. Forty days there, maybe forty days on the surface, forty days back.

I'll want a really massive radiation shield made out of freshly-mined lead for all living spaces, on the voyage spacecraft, lander and habit to keep out cosmic nastiness.

And an even bigger radiation shield to keep me safe from my own propulsion plant!
