Go to Mars in a cosmic fruit bowl

Tripathi is suggesting instead that positively and negatively charged metal spheres be arranged on struts jutting out of the crew capsule, in carefully controlled directions, to give the crew a high degree of electrostatic radiation cover. He calculates the “cherries” would need to be between 10 and 20 metres in diameter and would be stationed about 50 metres from the crew capsule—the “grapefruit”.
