View full lesson: http://ed.ted.com/lessons/could-we-survive-prolonged-space-travel-lisa-nip Prolonged space travel plays a severe toll on the human body: microgravity impairs muscle and bone growth, and high doses of radiation cause irreversible mutations. As we seriously consider the human species becoming space-faring, a big question stands: even if we do break free from Earth’s orbit, can we adapt to the extreme environments of space? Lisa Nip examines our odds. Lesson by Lisa Nip, animation by Bassam Kurdali.

Meh looking for counter video. This is a one-sided argument, and that is fine as long as people acknowledge it and can remember the other POVs.

This video is about artificial evolution for humans.

All that extra weight in space would be a terrible idea. They'd never make the cut. Also... you get altitude sickness if you change altitudes too quickly, and don't adapt. Mountain peoples are better suited for this, but they're not magic.

I'm so glad I discovered this channel 😊 I love learning new things

Sucks to ethics; in my opinion we should use genetic and bio modifications to better the lives of the next generation and create a better humanity and also make humans a thousand times more capable to survive in space and other situations. Saying other wise to just even the controversy in the name of law or government is just ignorance and may even be murder as well.

well how are we supposed to survive in space when we can't even survive on earth without destroying Humanity

Question: why are like 85% of the comments about the character being fat? I get it and I respect your opinions, and sure there can be a few comments about that here and there, but it shouldn't be the most talked about thing... How about talking about the video? (which yes, I'm not really doing either)

I dont think this is going to work very well becouse 1: whot are the side efeckts of ad new gen
2: our body is afeckted of rediation the hole time so whot is going to hapen if it "diseper"
(We can survive the radiation from space, smockers are efected of twise as mach) (My eng=😞😖😂) -
that is why lunar landing is as fake as the stupid dinosaur hoax
-
so we bassicaly need to be a lizard wolverine
-
Just in case if world war 3 occurs and nuclear weapons are widely used causing the earth to be inhabitable . Hence we can have space travel just like the tv series , The 100 CW

This is hard to understand... I'm spacing out
okay ill go now... -
I have osteoperosis

Congratulations for the awesome animation!

The most troubling aspect of bio engineering humans is not fear of the unfamiliar or fear of competing with such people for jobs or resources. You compete with lots of people already for jobs and resources and will be too old to be a direct competitor to a bioengineered person who will be born 20 years in the future. You can get used to something new or even a new type of person.
No, the most troubling aspect is whether or not this person is really a human (if you insert DNA from a fungus) or is really your child (if you mix and match the DNA of let's say 5-10 people to make the best possible combination.) -
This is literally talking about how we could liVE IN ACTUAL SPACe and you hugs are wondering why everyone is fat

Hmmm...according to the author, those who live at high altitude are the products of 'evolution'...yet how do we know they weren't designed to make adaptations to live that way? On the other she suggests that maybe science can fill in for 'evolution' and engineer human biology to live in space...isn't that DESIGN??? So if mere people can design, can't there be a designer that actually designed it all? Ted-Ed has a rigid platform of Darwinistic atheism at it's core so don't expect anything else.
