Do the Hazards of Space Travel Outweigh the Benefits?

-- Ailbhe | December 3, 2019

Question:

Do you think the hazards of space travel outweigh the benefits?

-- Ailbhe

Answer:

I do not believe that the hazards of space travel, as we understand them, outweigh the benefits.  Since astronauts have successfully traveled short distanced through space for over 50 years without experiencing any serious physiological effects, I anticipate that any physiological issues which arise as a result of longer-term space flight will be manageable.
