Rename to clarify This threat is just for spacecraft occupants, not for airplane occupants[edit]

Maybe name it Heath threat in space from cosmic rays ? Might start with a hatnote to clarify. - Rod57 (talk) 15:05, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Galactic cosmic rays are only present in space, so it's implied that it's not for regular airline occupants.
