BBC
space odyssey 😮
Musk thinks he’s gonna create a master race on Mars.
A perfect example of his upside down thinking.
Good luck in getting the teenage wannabe mums a council house on Mars
🤩!!! 100/100!!!
Would their heads be shaped differently? Fontanelles close around 18months. With the excess fluid traveling upwards to their head before their skull has finished developing I wonder if they would be more balloon-shaped?
2023(G) “Respect and dignity.” Furthermore:
What do you mean we are having baby's in space were on a planet floating in space 😎👍
Babies are born in space every day
This was absolutely awesome 😎
I want to concieve and give birth in space seriously
EVERY baby is in space, Einstein.
No….the change In gravity would effect reproduction and growth
Belters unite!
Good 😊
Space is FAKE. EARTH is flat.
No. Radiation !
First off, there would be no space travel without artificial gravity and there is no difference between space in a spinning tube and having a baby on the ground. Second, this is not even remotely important. There's no reason to send actual human beings anywhere in space for long enough that breeding is important. The only stuff we'll send anywhere long-term will be AI driven machines.
It's a dumb question, for dumb people. Written by fukpotatos. And as such, warrants zero consideration.
Earth – so beautiful yet people want to go live on something more ugly.
who's we? Me and you? no thanks
BBC took some pills and started asking them questions of humanity
Sure.
They might look like Human Amoebas though!
What about artificial gravity?
Only the rich will go to Mars. While this dialogue is valid, its classist. I am all for space exploration but this discourse is toxic and quite frankly offensive as someone who will die on this earth along wtih all the flora and fauna the rich shall leave behind.
Gestation would be far more efficient using artificial wombs instead of female humans and a single male human could provide the sperm to fertilize dozens of eggs in one go.
There are plenty of adult females who would sell their eggs to start the process and then eggs can be harvested from baby girls as the process is ramped up.
How you going to have babies in "space" if everyone keeps mutilating their reproductive organs?
