Truly a duh moment, and the only real question in my mind is "Who thought it was a good idea?"
If we should get over sending humans into space and focus on telepresence, humans are so inadequately designed for space travel and low gravity living.
At least stay out of space until robots can build a viable environment that can be spun up for simulated gravity, properly shielded against micrometeorites and radiation with 90% self sustaining capabilities, those tin cans they have strung together in orbit and called a space station are pathetic.
We are capable of so much more.
