> Astronauts are exposed to ionizing radiation with effective doses in the range from 50 to 2,000 mSv. 1 mSv of ionizing radiation is equivalent to about three chest x-rays. So that’s like if you were to have 150 to 6,000 chest x-rays.

Ok what the fuck is going on here , are CT scans absurdly radioactive and this is kept hidden due to the medical industry lacking better tools, or is space not as much radioactive as we are told?
A person that does 3 or 4 ct scans will be more exposed to radiations than astronauts how is this possible?
