NASA always manipulates news coverage… I recall the days 20 years ago whenever a politician got serious about cutting their budget, NASA would run a “water on the Moon!” story. If it comes out that long term space travel is going to cause brain damage (my guess here) their golden goose is cooked.

NASA is more than manned space travel with lots of unmanned missions to other planets and moons. If space travel causes brain damage, it's more like Elon will have problems.

so he'll be fine then?

But long term, that's good: we have only one spaceship (earth) in the end, that's the one we have to take extreme care of.
