Think I'll stop on Earth if that's okay.

Remember a science program many years ago, where they talked around the problem with Human and space.

I remember one scientist said it would be better to develop cyborgs and let them conquer the space (Something like that)

Could have been me.

I think since long that humans cannot make long space journeys without gettign frozen or genetically and technologically altered them, fundamentally, indeed turnign them into sort of cyborgs.

Whether that is desirable, is another debate.

Physics professor and science fiction author Gregory Benford wrote, amongst many others, the six novels of the socalled Galactic Center Saga, that depicts a war between a machine civilization trying to exterminate mankind from all the galaxy for being a "vermin", where humans indeed live and fight for survival with plenty of technology injected into their no longer purely natural bodies.

I can think of many a politician that would benefit from an extended trip/tour in space.

I better wait for transport without it, thank you

On missions to Mars astronauts will have the choice between aromatized drinking waters with different flavours.

Just let me know when they put curry on the menu.

Aktungbby · 06-21-24, 10:19 AM

they don't allow curry on space trips as it wears out the poop bags ahead of schedule!

Jimbuna · 06-21-24, 11:35 AM

Only if it's a Vindaloo so Madras should be okay

Unfortunately, despite all the technological advances, Humans remain rather squishy flesh bags with little protection.

That is gonna still be an obstacle for prolonged space flight
