The idea was to simulate cosmic rays in space. Six weeks later, the mice showed memory problem. They had a harder time recognizing toys than did unzapped mice. They also did poorer job of remembering where a toy had been.” This is showing that an astronaut in space could get hit with particles like these and forget valuable information like which button is turn on gravity or self destruction. If something like this happened, things could go terribly wrong. This proves that if we let astronauts go into space they could have their brains sliced by the high-charged particles.
