We all know space poses many dangers. But are those dangers greater then doing exploration into the deep oceans? Are the short comings of the humany anatomy to survive in those environments mean we shouldn't try to overcome them. The human story is about our ability to use our minds to overcome those short comings. Being too negative about our abilities is probably not doing a service to us or future generations even if it does get you clicks. So maybe we can have a discussion about how we could talk about space and potentially teach and learn from others about what is really possible. Because even people that are insanely rich such as Jeff Bezos and are in fact in the rocket industry still say kind of silly things that they probably wouldn't even they really thought it through.
I recently made a 25 minute video talking about an article I read and how many of the things listed in the article are kind of sensational and probably not as accurate as it could be. Here is the video.
Poor Eyesight
Weak Muscles
Altered Skin Tone
Brittle Bones
Increased Exposure to radiation
Weak Immune System
Evolution would occur in one or two generations
Jeff Bezo's said living on Mars is worse then living on Mount Everst
