The solution to the problem:
I or the Maker will make a UV( Ultraviolet ) ray visor out of polycarbonate plastic and a thin layer of gold that reflects Ultraviolet light from the sun. If I don't make the visors the UV rays can kill us or cause cancer. Then we can cover our houses with the same material used for the visors so the UV rays don't effect them. Also our space suit will be made of opaque layers to take care of the rest of the radiation. We will need 22 of these specialized visors and suits. If the visors break there is gold on mars so we can make new visors so we don't die.
Information on UV ray visors and Radiation causing death:
The cosmic radiation environment is actually fairly complex—it includes UV (ultraviolet), x rays, and gamma rays. But the most significant radiation comes in the form of particles—protons, electrons, and high-energy helium atoms that have been stripped of their electrons (also called helium nuclei or alpha radiation). Some of these can be shielded; others cannot.
UV, potentially life-threatening, is fairly easily shielded by covering up. The visors are treated to reflect UV, and the opaque layers of the suit take care of the rest. On the other extreme, x rays and gamma rays are hard to shield—this is where the lead would come in, but there is not enough of this form of radiation to make the extra weight worthwhile. The lead apron a radiologist wears can weigh 10–15 kg, so lining the entire suit with this thickness of lead would add at least 25–40 kg to a suit that is already bulky and heavy. The material of the suit itself attenuates some of this radiation, but this is not the primary risk to astronauts.
