Agree completely. There's one episode in the 3rd season, I believe, where a lot of damage occurs on a ship full of people (being vague). I always loved how in that episode, they go a lot into the added difficulties of injuries in space. For example, the inability of the body to stop bleeding and clot if there's no artificial gravity, so even minor wounds become deadly. I also think the Expanse presents a more realistic picture of what humans of today would be like in space, not the usual more optimistic version of us...
- imbnwa 6y agoReally wish they had the budget to pull off how deformed (from our perspective on Earth) Belters appear in the books. Astronauts have to do physical therapy after coming back from space, imagine living your life out there.
- outworlder 6y agoI comment on this elsewhere in this thread. The first belter shown has clearly different proportions compared to Earth humans. Easier to do because that one was restrained and wasn't a main character. But they are aware of that. > imagine living your life out there. Worse than that, imagine multiple generations out there. We don't know what's the effect of zero-g on bone growth is.
