I lost the tweet, but I saw some dipshit mook on Twitter arguing that long-term space travel was โimpossibleโ because of bone density loss that occurs in zero g.
This is the dumbassest argument in the history of arguments because I personally could figure out the math and engineering of tethering two masses together with high-tensile strength kevlar cords and spinning them up to produce one g โ and I am fucking terrible at math. This isnโt even hard. We just havenโt done it because we have no reason to yet.
This is same clown in 1650 who would be telling you it wouldnโt ever be possible to navigate accurately because no known technology could produce a clock good enough to measure longitude precisely.
Whatโs particularly delightful about bozos like that is they say things are โimpossibleโ that we already know how to do. Itโs like saying that weโll never have wireless phones now or something. Itโs just incomprehensible.
