Agreed. Humans have to admit that deep space exploration by humans is not possible. It is a harsh reality but likely true. We did not evolve for that possibility. Getting humans to Mars will be expensive and could end in a tradgedy. Rescue will be impossible.

The most likely way to explore our galaxy will be by artificial intelligence combined with robotics. The human being in its present state of evolution is just not adaptable to the space environment.
