There was and article a few day ago that pointed to major circulation problems after being in no gravity conditions for and extended period of time. If seems that blood clots can form as well.

If I wake up early can I bring a hot girl out of hibernation so we can live together while everyone else sleeps?
I never saw that in a movie...

Send in the robots. Other than going to Mars, deep space is now impossible unless they can figure out how to fold space and travel through the worm holes.
As far as Mars goes, there is a guy who has solved the problem of going there in half the time NASA has figured. He wants to tether two space craft together and set them spinning to simulate gravity. The longer the tether the more the gravity? I dont know..faster spin for sure, but a faster spin would be more dangerous?

It all went downhill after HAL realized Bowman was too slow to catch him cheating at chess.

Yeah, but then she’d still be out of hibernation for the rest of her life, but stuck being alone.
Better to marry him so she could entertain herself by tormenting him forever!

And we are mostly made up of water.
How about some additive to water that prevents is from expanding when it freezes. Or maybe some kind of electrical or magnetic force, or EM force? A microwave seems to be a the natural resonance frequency of the water molecule. Can you hold the water molecule in “a state” at or below freezing while applying a microwave source. Seems like you might be able to change the transition point not by adding energy but preventing the water molecule from moving.

I remember Donovan had a song decades ago called "Intergalactic Laxative." One line went "If sh_tting is your problem when you're out there in the stars, the Intergalactic Laxative will get you from here to Mars."
Who knew he was prophetic?

Other than, “Because we can” there is no reason to send people to Mars. Maybe after a few centuries after we terraform the place.

"NASA has already solved the problem human waste.
Several years ago they contracted with the DNC and they
collect all human waste and then resell it to
the mainstream media." I hear San Francisco is collecting it so they can
dump it on their city's sidewalks. It's part of
San Francisco's plan to become a Third World dump.
