It should be noted that it's not even sure that people could survive with such low gravity for a truly long time, or at least thrive. It could be that various parts of the body get weakened to a point that is even dangerous in the low gravity conditions (for example, you might find that you get a bone fissure in your leg every time you bump into the bed corner).
Also, it's not at all clear that people could procreate and (especially) have a normal pregnancy in very low g conditions. We have nowhere near the kind of understanding of the gestational process that could allow us to know for sure before trying it out.
- TeMPOraL 2y agoI guess the corollary here is that if it turns out some people could survive and procreate living in low-g, and some of their children could do the same, then the problem will sort itself out in couple generations :).
- Schiendelman 2y agoKind of. The problem thete is that most of the cost of your space program becomes: - palliative care for astronauts you spent millions of dollars training and billions of dollars sending to space. - childcare for their kids before they're useful.
