Cast

gollark: Radiation poisoning?
gollark: Er. DNA and cell damage? I don't know exactly what would happen, but in the long run cancer and stuff.
gollark: Gamma rays have the "advantage" of being ionizing and thus messing you up in more ways than just purely heating you.
gollark: While they're electromagnetic radiation, different bits of the spectrum have very different properties and are generated in different ways.
gollark: 50m range would also not be very practical for space things.
