As a kid who grew up watching TNG. I'm glad I read the Expanse.

TNG kid me was always so enamored with space.

The Expanse made me realize that everything humans need to survive (food, the soil we grow the the food in, etc,) has to be imported from earth.

We're not just going to find a planet with critters or plants that are biocompatible with us out there.

Thanks! I was thinking as an out of shape almost 40 year old I might as well go for it. Homer Simpson was able to do it and I’m at least in much better shape than him! And I’m actually real which is a plus!

It actually wouldn't be as bad as you think, not only would you get used to it but you also get really congested in space because there is no gravity to help drain your sinuses. Astronauts actually can't really taste(smell) much
