But can the craft survive the cosmic radiation and make the 20-year voyage to Alpha Centauri?

Thats where NASA researchers can help.

Several options were proposed by NASA to pursue in the development stages of the project.

NASA and Stephen Hawking are working on a nano-starship that travels at 1/5 the speed of light

They presented their findings at the International Electron Devices Meeting in San Francisco this week.

Another option, they proposed was to add shielding to the electronics to reduce damage resulting from cosmic rays.

But now we can transcend it.
