The bigger problem is that it can also be lethal because of radiation exposure in deep space, where the absence of Earth's magnetic field leaves astronauts far more exposed to deadly cosmic energy than they are in orbit or on the way to the moon. Some kind of shielding is obviously necessary--anathema to space designers, who like to keep hardware light, but unavoidable all the same.
