If you plan on trying to trivialize an environment where the radiation levels are quantitatively high than Mars (the Moon) and make out Mars' levels are a showstopper go ahead all it does is make you look silly. Radiation levels found by the Apollo astronauts are well documented...problem was the dosimeters they used gave false readings and possible very low readings...you do your own research on this one, Ed. If in my reqular searches I find some hard data on the Moon I will post it here (Space).
More on the dust problem...I suggest you read the new thread I started on Moon Storms. More reason to wonder how well folks will perform in the abrasive and dangerous (to health) dust of the Moon. Maybe NASA should reconsider the Moon as the first step as Mars is a benign environment relative to the Moon and has better potential as a source of water ice for fuel to further MMB.
