Scientists Have Bad News for Astronauts’ Genitals

Talk about a problem of cosmic, uh, proportions. A recent rat study conducted by NASA-funded researchers found that deep space travel might inflict long-lasting erectile dysfunction symptoms on male astronauts — a problem that may even persist after they return to Earth.

According to the research, which was published in the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology's FASEB Journal, the galactic cosmic radiation (GCR) that astronauts would be exposed to during long-term space travel could cause damage to spacefarers' erectile tissues, leading to potentially decades-long genital woes.

I'm out, what about you? Still want to explore the universe?

Yikes.

Captain Kirk never had a problem getting it up with Green Orion females from Seti Alpha 6.

Working on artificial gravity seems to be a top priority now. using magnets to achieve this is under study.

I think you can simulate it if you have a spinning gyroscope inside the ship.

Radiation shielding to protect a mission to Mars

Harmful radiation comes from two main sources in space; low-energy protons emitted from the sun, known as the solar wind, and much higher energy particles known as galactic cosmic rays that originate outside the solar system. Long-term exposure to galactic cosmic rays and solar particles can...

A magnetic bubble could protect astronauts from dangerous space radiation

Humans have long dreamed of setting foot on Mars or beyond, and the advances by companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin means perhaps the dream could be closer than ever to becoming reality. But as it stands now, sending astronauts on long-duration missions to other worlds would be impossible...

We are still in the infancy of becoming a space faring species. Every baby step just brings us closer to the stars.

Realistically with current technology, centrifugal force by spinning the ship or a section of it will create bearable gravity for long range trips, just don't look out a window.

A gentle hint that there was no intention to go to the moon?

Now we may know why America's scientists burnt all their homework on the technology of how to do it.

Or had some dogs eat it?

They would probably have viewing screens to simulate windows.

I want “us” to reach other planets. That doesn’t mean you or I. Humanity. So that we live on even after earth becomes uninhabitable.

It’s like how I care that humanity does well long after I’m gone. If you had a button to take everyone else out with you when you died, would you push it?

So the goal or hope is humanity outlives earth.

It might be to start we see planets that are in the Goldilocks zone and we send small spaceships with dna on it. Single cell. Simple life. So it’s not even humans we want to live forever. So we seed other planets. Maybe earth was seeded by another planet that has long become extinct? Maybe martians seeded earth before they died.

Which would be great if our bones were made of metal.

An area worth researching though. The Germans are doing just that from what I am told.

We are still in the infancy of becoming a space faring species. Every baby step just brings us closer to the stars.

We can never travel to the stars. It is physically impossible. Interstellar space is near absolute zero, cosmic rays and microscopic meteors traveling over 100,000 mph

Even at a fraction of light speed it'll require DECADES in the cold vacuum of space.

God has created a universe so vast that we can never travel to the nearest star until AFTER the resurrection of the dead and we become immortal God-beings

Artificial Gravity in Long-Term Space Travel: Concepts, Research, and Challenges

An interesting article. The effect of deep space travel on the body without gravity is a problem to be solved. A human would look like a flatworm if exposed to no gravity for a long time.

Astronauts have a serious death wish. They will almost certainly get what they are wishing for. Manned spaceflight is insane.
I appreciate Hubble, Webb, Voyager, communication and weather satellites. There are practical ways to use space, manned spaceflight is not one of them.

Im assuming this is an issue with zero gravity making your body lazy or something. We already know how to make artificial gravity in space. Any manned ship leaving this solar system will be set up with it.

Thomas Jefferson said we were warriors so our sons could be farmers. Farmers would toil in the dirt to put their kids or one kid through college.

An astronaut would be a loner who is happy with a computer. He wants to be part of history. He’s never going t9 see the new planet but his grandson will. And that child won’t be human. It will evolve to live in space rather quickly. Maybe we infuse the tardigrades dna into this new species of humans.

Still no concrete evidence from Voyager One that we can leave the solar system using current technology .
Makes you think of the ancient writings citing a firmanent .
