When R We Going To Stop Avoiding The Topic Of Space Travel Suicide Missions

[Koolaid_Man]

With the recent discovery of a Super earth exoplanet named Keplar 452b which is 1400 light yrs away and 60% larger than the Earth..i got to thinking.......Nope we cant send monkeys this time....this has to be all man...communicating back to earth what he's seeing and feeling as he dies enroute to traversing the Milky Way....just like the indigenous people had to take suicide missions on a make shift wooden float in search of new land across thousands of miles of rough open oceans..98% of those indigenous people died at sea...but they never stopped trying...and after thousands of deaths they improved their techniques and finally made it to another continent to repopulate life..

Same prospects with Space exploration...someone has to volunteer for these suicide missions we cant keep sending space probes that can barely tell us what conditions on the ground is like.. we need to be able to see someone land and then immediately die of asphyxiation because their is no atmosphere or oxygen....I know it sounds crass but it is the only way to start attempting to populate the universe...


The only problem with our potential new home? Scientists believe it's Star or Sun is about 2 billion years older than ours and is expanding and will eventually explode...this current expansion of its Sun has caused the planet to enter it's greenhouse gas emissions phase...meaning its heating up the planet and evaporating its oceans and water..





This is the destruction phase....this is where we need some boots on the ground to see how fast they die...or long they can survive....I'm all for sending the breath crew

Who is avoiding the topic? Bring it on. Didn't the one way Mars trip attract thousands of volunteers?

One way tickets is the only way to explore the depths of space. There are Major Toms who are ready.
