You can make it to Mars, but on the way back you need dialysis

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.

Jimbuna · 06-21-24, 08:57 AM

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

Platapus · 06-21-24, 01:22 PM

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

mapuc · 06-21-24, 01:30 PM

We seems to be concentrating on present day, maybe we should turn our view into the future.

What kind of technical breakthroughs await us, when it comes to space exploration in the future?

Markus

Platapus · 06-21-24, 02:52 PM

That's just it. We can improve machinery and develop technology, but we still need some way to keep meat bags healthy enough to survive the very long trips.

I think un-crewed probes should be the first priority.

Let's find out if there are any places out there that we really want to visit in person.

Right on Markus
I think artificial gravity should be top of the list of technological advances to be explored, followed by an engine that doesn't need refuelling.
