Radiation is one of those “gonna’ have to worry about it”\u00a0issues for Space Elevator passengers (and possibily some of the cargo), but one that can, hopefully be dealt with.\u00a0 If I’m in a climber, I would like some sort of positive reinforcement that whatever shielding\u00a0has been provided\u00a0is working and that I’m not getting pinged with too much radiation.<\/p>\n
