When they come down, there were kinds of labor contractions that they had to do twice as often, as if any woman would want to be in labor any longer than they already have to be. Yeah. It's just lots of reasons to be scared that the space environment will be bad.

So I'm a little concerned about bones in babies because if you're living underground, you're not getting sunlight. Sunlight is important for producing vitamin D and vitamin D is important for making calcium and putting that into your bones.

So if you've got like women who are living underground and you're not taking care to make sure they're getting enough vitamin D and they're turning that into calcium, well, they're trying to maintain their skeleton, which is degrading under less than Earth's gravity and trying to make the skeleton of a baby.

And so you can imagine that babies would be born with skeletons that are already a little bit more fragile, a little bit less tough than we would like them to be. Oof. And then we don't understand what development under 40% of Earth's gravity is going to do to those bodies.

And in particular, we don't know if they'll ever be able to return to Earth if they decide that they don't want to stay at Mars. So you might be having babies that are forced to stay in this environment that is hostile. And at some point, we might decide we want to abandon, but they wouldn't be able to.

So I'm an ecologist by training, and in particular, I'm a parasitologist, so I study parasites. So I'm the kind of person who is even in love with the weird, creepy things you find inside of the more charismatic megafauna. So I was already pretty crazy about this planet and all the cool biodiversity we have here. Me too.

But reading about, like, if you go to Mars, you'll never be able to walk outside without a spacesuit on and, like, feel the breeze on your skin. I just, I really appreciate this planet that we evolved on and we're so well adapted to. I'm staying here.
