Not just the gravity thrusty physicsy stuff but the medicine too. Here are just some of the obstacles we might run into when settling the Moon, Mars or even an exoplanet. Check out my first video on the medicine in The Expanse (spoiler-free). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIRdWi3tKA8 Music: Once again NAVIKMusic very kindly allowed me to use his cover of the Expanse theme by Clinton Shorter.
