yeah, I'm with you.
I'm really curious to see how this will effect the physical evolution of man.
The human body is a product of Earth and, as such, funtions best at standard temperature and pressure and 1 Earth G.
The circulatory system relies on gravity. Muscles (including the heart & diaphragm) atrophy in low gravity. The moon has 1/6 the Earth's gravity. Prolonged exposure has caused all sorts of physiological problems for astronauts. If a colony is goin to have any kind of permanence, there will have to be relationships wich equals...
space kids
Will a child concieved and gestated in low gravity ever be able to step foot on Earth? Will his/her/it's system be able to function at 6 times the Lunar G?
I'm really interested in this one - might be a good short story?
