If we don't age in space,why can't we live there and make ourselves immortal ? Surely,We'd develope enough technology for that,I believe ?

But we do. Where did you read something to the contrary?Docscientist said:If we don't age in space
Why can't we build a super Dooper spaceship that has all the amenities and can resist all the problems that we might face in space ? Just like how it was in a movie named "2012" How long do you think it might take for us to achieve that ?rootone said:If being in space has any effect on ageing, it's more likely to cause symptoms of ageing more quickly.
As diogenesNY pointed out micro gravity, the absense of a normal day-night cycle, radiation, etc, subject a body to unusual stresses, and that is not likely to make a person live longer.
Why should we give birth to babies when we are immortal ? I mean you won't need anybody to support you.Moreover,there are contraceptive methods that can help us in space.PeroK said:If we didn't age in space then any baby born in space would remain a new-born baby forever!
Although, if we didn't age at all, it's difficult to see how any baby could be born; it would remain a foetus (or a fertilised egg) forever.
In order to understand what age really is, you have to first come to the realization that you are nothing more than an insanely complicated chemical reaction. Those chemical reactions that make you you, don't care if you're on Earth or floating though space.Docscientist said:If we don't age in space,why can't we live there and make ourselves immortal ?

Naturally,we all define age on the basis of time.I believe that all my organs came into existence at one point of time and that is when I was born.So the amount of years spent by each part of my body is the same which means they all should be of the same age.newjerseyrunner said:I ask you this question: how old is your body? It depends on what part of you you are talking about, the cells of your skin, stomach, bones, blood... are all very different ages.
The only possibility for immortality is to transfer your consciousness into a machine, which I think is possible, but way way way harder than people think it will be.
Space exploration is the act of sending spacecraft or humans into outer space to gather information about the universe. It is important because it allows us to learn more about our solar system, galaxy, and beyond, which can lead to technological advancements and a better understanding of our place in the universe.
Yes, with the help of technology and proper training, humans can survive in space for an extended period of time. In fact, astronauts on the International Space Station have been living in space for months or even years at a time.
Living in space can have both positive and negative effects on human health. The lack of gravity can cause muscle and bone loss, while the increased exposure to radiation can lead to an increased risk of cancer. However, the unique environment of space can also provide opportunities for medical and technological advancements, such as the development of new treatments for bone and muscle loss.
While achieving true immortality may not be possible, technology in space can potentially extend human life by providing access to resources and medical advancements that may not be available on Earth. For example, advancements in cryogenics and regenerative medicine could potentially prolong human life and potentially lead to the ability to transfer human consciousness to a robotic body.
The main ethical concerns surrounding living in space and exploring immortality through technology include the potential for unequal access to resources and the potential for creating a class of immortal beings who are superior to those who cannot afford or do not have access to these technologies. There are also concerns about the impact on Earth and its resources if a large number of people were to permanently leave for space.
