      Everyone can survive a certain amount of radiation and all of us are exposed a little bit of radiation all of the time. If we go into space then we are exposed to more radiation as the earth’s magnetic field and atmosphere protect us from a lot of the radiation that is present in space. If we were born in space we wouldn’t be any more resistant to the radiation.
