[โ] unreachable@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (7 children) how about the "non kidney" part, especially on male? permalink fedilink source hideshow 7 child comments replies: [โ] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago (5 children) There are dozens of astronauts who've spent years in the space station. Granted that's across multiple missions, but the gravity on Mars might end up being enough to mitigate the damage. I'm more concerned with the "artist's impression of a Mars colony" being a few low res shapes placed on top of what is very obviously a close up of a few square feet of Martian surface. Have they already outsourced chat GPT's image gen to even cheaper models? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 5 child comments replies: [โ] MyTurtleSwimsUpsideDown@fedia.io 20 points 2 years ago (1 child) What is this?

The research states that based on their findings the astronauts would need dialysis on the way back.
