And, and this is during a time when most of the American astronauts were
The best of the best coming out of the military.
So it is a unique environment, and that stressor has caused people to crack.
So that's the psychology of it.
Now, when you're in low Earth orbit, you can be in the water in 90 minutes.
So you're 90 minutes from being on a helicopter ride to a cheeseburger and people have cracked in space.
When you're on the moon, you're two and a half days from coming home.
And when you're on Mars, you could be anywhere from six to nine months to well over a year before you can come home.
So, and that's, and like, and think about it from like, again, you get into like the psychology of it.
When you're in low Earth orbit, you look out your window, you see big Earth.
When you're on the moon, it's still the blue marble.
When you're on Mars, it's a blue speck in the sky.
So like, we're gonna have the, you know, psychological issues to deal with when you send humans to that environment.
And then you're gonna have physiological issues, which is we didn't evolve to be in sub one G.
So astronauts spend six to nine months on the space station, they come back to Earth, they're a wreck for two weeks, right?
So basically that's the equivalent time of going to Mars.
So when they get to a reduced gravity environment and they step off the spaceship, are they gonna throw up in their helmet?
What if we have to do surgery?
Nobody's done surgery in space.
I mean, it's only a matter of time when you're on multi-year missions that someone's going to have a ruptured appendix maybe or something else that goes on.
