    Astronauts on the ISS experience vision changes — should Mars travelers be worried?

    Yes, I was thinking mostly for a on-station structure first. Eventually the tech to mary a propulsion system would be possible. I think you'd have to develop a radiation shield also to do open space. Too much of a jump for now on that part of the plan. Expensive yes but think of all the wasted...

    Astronauts on the ISS experience vision changes — should Mars travelers be worried?

    Gee, I've got a novel solution: build a station that has gravity. We have the technology and the ability to make it happen. Stop trying to beat gravity. Evolution says you can't beat it (gravity).

    These 5 particles are so strange, we're not sure they exist

    "our universe underwent a period of incredibly rapid expansion known as inflation". I have routinely contemplated that opening a Sim program on a computer would kinda be like the inflation of the universe. ha ha ha but I do consider it a possibility.

    Intuitive Machines' historic private moon moon mission comes to an end

    "Odie has permanently faded after cementing its legacy into history as the first commercial lunar lander to land on the moon." - IMHO a crash landing, which is what happened, doesn't count.

    12 space medicine findings from 2023 that could help astronauts reach Mars one day

    Artificial gravity would solve most problems. We have waited decades and wasted billions of dollars trying to beat gravity. If we had built a proper space station from the beginning we would be exploring the moon and planets by now. We have had the technology to do this for a long time.
