Two astronauts just got back from nine months stuck on the ISS, that much time in space messes with your body. Here’s what they’re facing now that they’re back on Earth.
An incredible reminder of how dependent our existence is on the environment that we evolved to live in harmony with. Taking to space and the eventual colonisation of other planets will likely be a bleak & miserable existence for the first generations. Life is challenging enough without having to battle a hostile environment.
Literally! Makes me kind of anxious sometimes just thinking we're so delicate, we've not got anywhere else to go, yet we keep messing up our own environment.
And yes, the first people to leave to colonise are going to have a terrible time, If you've not watched it, Apple+ has a series called For All Mankind, it's a really good show, showing what would have happened if Russia got to the moon first, and makes it so that it triggers a huge space race. Really good and it really highlights all these things.
