I've always thought that if I had my own spaceship or space station-- at least until or unless artificial gravity is invented-- I would prefer (all else being equal) to hire crew who had no legs.

In such an environment legs seem like trouble. They just fly around knocking into things and taking up space. Sure, you can use legs/feet to anchor a person in place by strapping them in, but there are space-saving ways to anchor a person in place when you don't have to take those useless (in microgravity, at least) appendages into account.

I think all the government space-access prevention agencies, like NASA, have missed a great opportunity by not encouraging the legless to apply. Just think of the public relations coup (assuming no "flight anomaly" resulting in crew loss).

It's a blind spot I hope liberated market spaceflight will notice and fix.

informative thanks dear

When the day comes when scientists discover life outside the Earth, that day will be a surprise day, despite all expectations of its existence there

Yes, it will. And I hope I'm still alive to see it.

we hope that sir @dullhawk

stay bless with it...

Yes im agree with you

"Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Can you feel life moving through your mind?

Life outside the Earth can be possible somewhere in space, but until the moment there is no evidence of this - evidence known to the public at least, what we already know is that there are planets on which life can be called Habitable Exoplanets

Same pinch ....Yes i also have the same feel @dullhawk

all of your post is always so informative
