I think what it shows is what it said in the article-they are focused only on trips into space, not on colonisation at this stage.
What surprises me though is there is apparently no follow up of astronaut health, especially those who have spent months in space.
The loss of muscle tone etc is well known. The problem of radioactivity is fairly well known, it's one of the reasons some people claimed the moon walk was a fake etc. (I believe it was real but then again, the moon isn't far away.)
I am extremely surprised that they didn't carry out a lot of experiments with small animals such as mice on those longer space trips. I am not talking killing them etc but they could have allowed a few generations of mice to develop so the final results could be studied back on earth. And if no mice babies resulted? that would tell you something, too.

I'm 68 now. Haven't seen warp speed since I was 55.
As we say down south.............. Getting old, ain't for sissy's.
But...........sub-light speed still works.
Beam me up Scotty.

It's life Jim, but not as we know it.

I don't see the issue with enough shielding or exercise equipment. They have to simulate gravity.
