Wow - if the anti- radiation sickness drug works on humans, it would be huge, reducing one big peril of spaceflight and space colonization. If we can next get a reasonably reliable cure for radiation induced cancer, humans could hope to live and work in space. Since they've figure out how to turn off the suicide mechanism, maybe they can also enhance it to make cancer cells targeted by radiation therapy more susceptible?
Of course, such progress has the flip side of making nuclear war somewhat less "unthinkable".
