If mankind is to safely travel too and from other nearby Planets like Mars and eventually far beyond, then a solution to the radiation problem must be found. It would be nice to simply have a force field to delete the near spacecraft radiation, but that may not be so easy as it would draw significant energies, which might be in limited supply.
There are a number of theories being floated around on how to go about this dilemma; one recent theory in an online think tank was to re-align the X-Ray and Gamma Rays coming towards the space craft and send them into a spiral and fly thru the center. How? Pulse Laser? This was one solution countering the idea of a energy hogging force field, as that maybe energy inefficient or highly unlikely.
One member of the think tank stated;
