Radiation levels on the surface of Mars, measured by Curiosity rover, is 1 millisievert per day.
Radiation levels on the surface of Mars, measured by Curiosity rover, is 1 millisievert per day. Big deal! It's just like in my Kiev flat after Chernobyl exploded in 1986 [1]

1 millisievert per day is the same as inside ISS, 5x greater than in an airplane, and 300x than on the Surface of Earth (outside Chernobyl), and half of radiation levels Curiosity experienced during its 9-month cruise through deep space.

Fatal prompt radiation poisoning dose is on the order of 1 Sievert.

[1] Although within a week, it decreased 0.05 millisievert per day and within 3 months to 0.01 millisievert per day. I was cleaning the flat with an illegally obtained Geiger Counter:

На улице чисто, и чисто в квартире –
Спасибо реактору номер четыре.
