Could we survive prolonged space travel? - Lisa Nip

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Prolonged space travel plays a severe toll on the human body: microgravity impairs muscle and bone growth, and high doses of radiation cause irreversible mutations. As we seriously consider the human species becoming space-faring, a big question stands: even if we do break free from Earths orbit, can we adapt to the extreme environments of space? Lisa Nip examines our odds. Lesson by Lisa Nip

Hmmm. according to the author, those who live at high altitude are the products of 'evolution'. yet how do we know they weren't designed to make adaptations to live that way? On the other she suggests that maybe science can fill in for 'evolution' and engineer human biology to live in space. isn't that DESIGN? So if mere people can design, can't there be a designer that actually designed it all? Ted-Ed has a rigid platform of Darwinistic atheism at it's core so don't expect anything else.

I don't think TED Ed people read the comments below, just not worth their time save for a few ones. But why are people not aesthetically pleasing in this animated video (I mean they're fat. kidding, talk about ethics. What would people stay longer in space for if there's nowhere else to go outside the solar system that can be reached in a lifetime? That's why robots do the exploration, and are eventually going to improve, becoming better tools, and you may say they are expendable.

The gravity issue is a non-issue or red herring. Bone and Muscle atrophy to a point in micro-gravity because you don't need Earth-tough bones and muscles in space, and it's only a problem once you land back on Earth. It wouldn't be a problem if you lived your entire life in space. The same is true for Mars. Your bones and muscles will deteriorate to where their comfortable in the Martian gravity, and you'll be just fine. You'd only have issue if you went back to Earth.

Basically, if we can somehow make it so that the melanin in our skin to absorb the radiation from the sun and give off enough heat so that we can build a system in space suits to turn this energy to electrical energy to be used by the suit and some of the energy produce, will be stored in batteries for emergency of overnight use. Probably won't happen, but just a suggestion.

Nobody is talking about this.
There is nothing wrong with genetically modifying humans for 'galactical' survival. Is 'galactical' survival even a right word? Haha
It's just sad this remeans in the realm of sci-fi. We are just to busy bickering with each other. Our intelligence is not enough.

I dont think this is going to work very well becouse 1: whot are the side efeckts of ad new gen
2: our body is afeckted of rediation the hole time so whot is going to hapen if it diseper
(We can survive the radiation from space, smockers are efected of twise as mach) (My eng=)

All that extra weight in space would be a terrible idea. They'd never make the cut. Also. you get altitude sickness if you change altitudes too quickly, and don't adapt. Mountain peoples are better suited for this, but they're not magic.

Just in case if world war 3 occurs and nuclear weapons are widely used causing the earth to be inhabitable. Hence we can have space travel just like the tv series, The 100 CW

I'm working on a way to fix these issues to as close as a negliigable point as possible, keep your eyes and ears open in the future for my breakthrough.
reply

we can then engineer human to breath in space! as well as food energy from photosynthesis. that way we can live on mars as well as do not require suit
