It doesnt auger well for future space travel does it, really?
He looked pale and weak and borderline emaciated. What hope those who travel further afield for longer? What would an astronaut look like on arriving at a planet? Unable to climb out of the spacecraft perhaps, unable to walk if there is any gravity!
They would only be able to gloat thru the window then press the return to home button.
That is assuming they have survived being shot to pieces by cosmic rays en route and riddled with cancer. Psychopaths due to the loneliness. And then finding that the circuit board that prepares them for the return journey is charred and damaged and they are stuck there until the oxygen runs out.
Good luck guys.
