Considering our continued and increasing dependence on interconnected databases, some of us, like the soldier shown here, may be there already.

Cyborgs in our future? Given the advances in robotics over just the last decade, the integration of machine and man will easily occur within our lifetimes. Unsurprisingly, most of the applications of this technology, at least at the beginning, will be of a military nature.

Could the differences of gravity, radiation exposure mean those children would be unable to return to Earth?
That depends. Are we talking Cosmic rays or Gamma rays.
These things make a difference.

humans are destined to become a multi-planetary species What is this evolution of time thing? Got a feeling the eminent space historian is no clearer on that than on the chances of FedGov programs ever resulting in a multi-planetary species.

Crap! Now I see cyborgs!
To: jmcenanly
Well, I've been kind of hoping that we'll figure out how to make spaceflight relatively easy, safe and comfortable for humans before we figure out how to make full blown cyborgs.
I'm interested in the future of mankind and, personally, it's a little difficult for me to identify with or care much about some highly engineered future contraption that's 90% machine and 10% biology.

What? You mean that a space historian woke up, looked around and noticed artificial teeth, knee joints, legs, stints, heart pumps, hearing aids, radio headsets, IR goggles...amazing.
