    Will never happen. Human flesh is not meant to live outside Earth. It’s just fairy tales.

      That’s my same thoughts as well, The thought of us currently working together in space is ridiculous. There would be courts in no time claiming borders for areas in time and space. Maybe if we make a Luna base, ill have hope we might one day get to Mars.

      Interesting, I’m of the opposite mind: I think it’s inevitable that we will inhabit places outside earth. Time is long, technology keeps getting better, space on earth keeps getting smaller, and there’s only one way we escape the consumption of earth by the eventual expansion of the sun. We just have to make sure not to destroy ourselves here first (a tall order, it seems as of lately).

        No way we colonize space or smaller rocks until we invent artificial gravity, which I don’t think is possible. Even spin “gravity” comes with a nauseous Coriolis force unless the station is huge and you’re on the outer edges.

        Luna is a death trap, no magnetosphere, radiation soaked, and the fine dust would make asbestos look like lung candy.

        Much the same for Mars. No radiation protection, fine dust clogging everything.

        I was on same side but then I started reading and watching interviews with astronauts, when you get back from space station you can’t even walk by yourself. It’s not only muscle disappearing problem. There are eye sight problems, brain changes. Brain is made 80% from water. There is no way people can overcome it with current fuel based space flight. And it’s just humans so don’t get me started about food. We’re stuck here for good.
