Makes sense. We evolved for this environment.

Those videos have been making the rounds in the youtube algo. Watched one myself a week ago, narrated by Brian Cox AI voice. I think mostly based on his actual writings. Yes, it makes sense, and I have no confidence that humans will ever be an interplanetary species.

I guess it is just emigration of a different type. LOL

If the body can adapt to gravity on Mars, it should be able to adapt back to gravity on Earth on return.

Only watched 2 minutes. Fo they address the fact that Elon’s plan is to tether and rotate two ships at a speed sufficient to generate the equivalent of 50% gravity, which is believed to be more than enough to prevent most of the negative effects?

I'm sorry you didn't have time to watch the 8 minute AI-generated video.

(I didn't watch it at all LOL... but have seen this topic before about the negative effects to your body if you do try to go to Mars and come back)

Who said anything about time? More that I lost interest. The problems with 0G and reduced G are not some secret. This is well known, has been hashed out, and multiple worthwhile solutions are being explored.
