Ran into this, it’s just unbelievably sad.
“I never properly grieved until this point” - yeah buddy, it seems like you never started. Everybody grieves in their own way, but this doesn’t seem healthy.

1m of water would do it. far less rock.
SEPs and GCRs can both be stopped by a number of lunar materials https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0273117716307505
yeah, the asteroid belt is sparse, but there’s still mega-gigatons of material out there just floating. autonomous recovery of this material will supply humanity’s future a lot more than any silly mars missions.
That would do it … for humans, that have built in mechanisms to resist and repair DNA damage and the like. Once silicon is damaged, it’s over for the silicon.
I’m sure they could quickly build up shielding, but the point is space is far more radioactive than most people think. There have even been recent discoveries about there being more radiation than we even expected, making manned Mars missions far less likely in the near future, and basically removing any hope for interstellar travel without significant advancements in medical and travel tech.
oh wait hold up partner…
we need one mission to mars to rid ourselves of a musky odour…
the rest is silly.
i feel like the most efficient path for an ai that doesnt care about humans would be to slowly build up manufacturing power and control over industrial facilities then in a single day release billions of tons of some toxic gas, or release a pandemic globally all at once then all those pesky biological organisms are gone so the ai would be free to do whatever it wanted with the earth then the surrounding planets and stars, really its all about manufacturing power
