Naked Science: "Spacemen" - Monday, November 14, at 10P et/pt
One day, we may have to leave Earth -- forced by an ice age, pollution or meteorite to find a new home elsewhere in the galaxy. Can humans adapt to life on distant stars? http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/chan...e/episodes.html -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft." - Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853 |

Can humans adapt to life on distant stars? http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/chan...e/episodes.html  Given the distances to other stars, unless we discover some kind of FTL technology, we will first need to adapt to living in space. And the real problem there will be energy and material resources. Chris |

And besides, if we can adapt to live *on* distant stars, why don't we just adapt to live on our *own* star first?
