Exposure to early explorers to Mars on a two year journey is less than
12.4 rads - equivalent to 40 years exposure on Earth.- mostly in the
interplanetary segment.

Radiation is a factor, it is not a show stopper.

Larger ships, will have sheilding.-both active and passive
Faster ships - will limit exposure times
Larger Martian installations will have sheilding - mostly passive

Which tell us that the importance of this factor as Mars develops will
decline over time.

So, its even less of an issue later.

You're saying that ten tonnes worth of atmosphere per m2 and the
magnetosphere isn't doing hardly anything for us?

Btw, is that some kind of special Mook conditional physics?
