      Let’s imagine we’re all back in the cave. We’re sitting around the fire and someone realizes we've ran out of food and we've searched all around the outside of the cave in the usual foraging spots and found no food. You say to the group, "I want to go further, across the meadow and into the forest on the other side."
      The group looks at you as if you're mad and replies: "You cannot go now! we need to fix the issue in the cave first!"

    If babies are conceived and go through the full 9 month cycle in zero gravity, their skeletal system would be so week on Earth, they would require some apparatus to aid in supporting themselves. Not for the rest of their lives most likely, but at least until they would be strong enough to be supported without any aid.

    This video is reassuring in one respect. We on Earth appear to be relatively safe from invasion from Mars. The opposite to us going to live on Mars applies, namely, they would immediately crush their own legs with the weight of their bodies. The Martian male used to a healthy consumption of beer could exist on Mars with a weight of 14 stone but that weight would be over 45 stone on Earth .... pretty unhealthy. We can all sleep safely in our beds.

      We have our problems on earth but, The amount of investment and what we get it of it is so astronomical that we can't ignore. Think it like this, when we put ourselves in hard places we tend to innovate, and space is one of these hard places.

    We are in space, silly goose! Everything is in space, so, yes, we can and do have babies in space.

    Improving the planet we already live on would always be 100% easier than the effort involved of being able to live on another planet. But I do like the idea (he said sarcastically) of just popping over to live on Mars because we have messed things up on Earth and can't be arsed sorting it out. So yeah, lets just inflict the human race on the rest of the bloody universe and destroy one planet at a time! :)
