Anyone that isn't an idiot would "flip out" at that.

You want an army of starving, disenfranchised people with nothing to lose in your country? Because I fucking well don't!

Oh and to whoever was going on about the magnets. We treat astronauts as radiation workers. So we measure their lifetime dosages and if they reach the limits they don't fly.

It was also another reason why Scott Kelly volunteered to spend a year living aboard the ISS. To determine what kind of stress the human body can take when spending extended periods of time in space.

Umm, you have more than a couple of folks here who aren't American, myself included. It's an international forum even if most of the discussion is about the US.

Well we had some data from the few Russians who spent more time on orbit but the great thing about Scott was we could compare him to his twin brother.

Generically speaking I think we are getting a handle on muscle and bone loss, but there is some eye stuff that can still be a problem.

True, but Blue_Max is suggesting all sorts of ways we should be spending money on stuff he thinks is cool while failing to pony up himself. He's looking for someone else to pay for his fantasies and suggesting that we cut people for dead to do it.
