This piece is critical analytical and Down to Earth, as it were.
This is actually the reiteration of my beliefs as a raw Medical Student, 50 years ago.
Then, I had only 20 questions in my mind, of course after retirement it expanded to about 40.
We are one gravity, 3 dimensional vertical beings not adopted to living in space.
Our brain's C.S.F system would hold us upside down for a few moments and long stay upside down makes us disorientated and our decision making capability declines.
We cannot tolerate Himalayas and not deep sea diving on our own planet.
On top of that, we have to sleep 8 hours a day and we need at least 3 people to man a spaceship on a long tour.
That adds to the mass of the rocket and we did not have rockets to thrust three of them to moon in 1960s.
The most we can tolerate is 100 miles above the earth atmosphere, and that is also, for about one hour.
Elon Musk be cognizant of the is biological facts!Philip J Corso did not expand on the Van Allen Belt and radiation sickness but he said radiation was used to sterilize consumable food.
My other contribution is we have only 50 cell cycles, from fertilization until we die and that score is rigid and final.
We can shorten it but never prolong it.
I do not proscribe to the view that aliens created us.
The aliens have to work from worm to fruit fly to gorilla, long time before coming to homo-sapiens.
We have 2500 core proteins that extend from Caenorhabditis elegans, the elegant worm to fruit fly to the Gorilla and to us.
There is is 95% to 98% homogenesity and that is where the credence to slow but systematic evolution of mankind leads.
Gorilla has 48 chromosomes and we humans have 46.
The nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans is a small, relatively simple, and precisely structured organism. The anatomy of its development has been described in extraordinary detail, and one can map out the exact lineage of every cell in the body
Humans have 46 chromosomes, whereas chimpanzee, gorilla, and orangutan have 48. This major karyotypic difference was caused by the fusion of two ancestral chromosomes to form human chromosome 2 and subsequent inactivation of one of the two original centromeres.
The real crunch point of the matter is our astronauts live up to age of 80s without radiation sickness.
There is no place in American democracy to guys like Bert Sibert who said something happened on our way to the moon.
I am glad I was not born in America or Canada where fake news rule the world.
I think Russian knew Americans were bluffing but the American for their own sake projected it on Russian failures. Of course, Russians were mindful that the biggest threat to them come from America.
So they perfected supersonic missiles long before Americans and they are using them curently in Ukraine.
So spaceships, anti-gravity lifts does not fall into my radar.
Robert, Bigelow, Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp are in the loop.
Arthur (Art) William Bell, the founder and the original host of the paranormal-themed radio program, Coast to Coast was the one who brought them to air or radio from a far away place, as far as from Philippines.
David Grusch, the C.I.A guy does not fall into them but Ross Coulthard, the journalist has a place.
This is based on General Philip J Corso's revelations but I have my own insinuations.
