The Problem with Deep Space Travel

They want to create genetically engineered astronauts, spliced with genes from a tardigrade microscopic insect. This is retardigradely playing like God.

And if We opened out to them a gate from heaven, and they were to continue ascending therein,
They would only say: "Our eyes have been intoxicated: Nay, we have been bewitched

{ وَلَوۡ فَتَحۡنَا عَلَیۡهِم بَابࣰا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَاۤءِ فَظَلُّوا۟ فِیهِ یَعۡرُجُونَ (14) لَقَالُوۤا۟ إِنَّمَا سُكِّرَتۡ أَبۡصَـٰرُنَا بَلۡ نَحۡنُ قَوۡمࣱ مَّسۡحُورُونَ (15) }
[Surah Al-Ḥijr: 14-15]

it's hard to believe that Israel, one of the leaders in space research and technology, is also killing Palestinians and destroying their homes because they want to steal Palestinian land. it's like there's some sort of connection between scientific progress and absolute horrible human exploitation 😢 US, Israel, Germany, what a group…

People listen to Elon musk and he makes it sound so easy but it's a lot more complicated than that space is very dangerous especially in deep space

water bear is OP 😂

Going to Mars is a mistake, at least on this technological level. We should instead focus first on a lunar base to get a place where we can extract materials, build bulky stuff easily and still get cheaper launches. And thes mankind should focus on going to VENUS, rather than Mars. Venus is much much easier to get to and to colonize – besides, floating cities are super cool

The worst part about space travel has to be the tiny ships that people fly in. The ships are huge in the movies but comically tiny in real life.

wait so space madness is real

When you only have to spend a few days in hyper space, with internal gravity, deep space travel is not an issue. The issue is ,spending time on another planet. Light propulsion already is here, that's why they stopped studying it, because we are doing it just a guess.

One interesting thing you didn’t mention is that even though women are more vulnerable to radiation, they can handle sensory deprivation far better than men

Flashes of light in vision are attributed to cosmic ray impacts with the optic system… not a hallucination…

Sci-Fi gets around this by things like artificial gravity, inertial dampers, faster than light travel, etc.

With the way AI is progressing, I wouldn't be surprised if in 10 or 20 years or so, we send AI astronauts to Mars and beyond to conduct experiments. Way more intelligent than the probes we've previously sent. We might come to the conclusion that it's just too dangerous to send humans out into space for a long period of time. It will be insanely expensive to create artificial gravity out in space, or on Mars, and we still haven't figured out how to combat solar radiation effectively.

Besides the obvious impacts on the biology of the human body (radiation’s, muscle arthophy and decalcification of the bones) It is not difficult to forecast the strain on the psyche. If austronauts experience this in a space station orbiting earth can we just imagine the impacts in the dark deep space? For 6 months? (The time to get to Mars). It will take indeed a very special breed of humans to do that and a much more advance technology than we have today.
It makes me laugh when we are being told that by 2030 we’ll lsndvnen on Mars (let alone women since the effect of 0 gravity will impact the decalcification process even more). There is no way we can get sun human to Mars and back alive (since it would require to get to Mars in 6 months , stay for 12 months and then a further 6 months to get back to earth).
