So let's expose some human tissue and some human-analog organisms to an actual cosmic radiation environment and see what happens. Oops: can't run that experiment anyplace inside the magnetosphere! Maybe we need a research facility beyond low-Earth orbit, and soon. Maybe a single heavy-lift launch could get us one.
