Please Look Up: Ban Space Travel that Disrupts, Pollutes & Bullies Celestial bodies!
The Issue
"We live in a society that allows us to bypass scientific fact and ignore the threat of our own self-destruction for rich people's short-term gain."
The Moon has existed over 4.5 billion years free of pollution until humanoid space travelers decided escaping earth to colonize and pollute other celestial planets is a mission worth exploring. To elaborate, Here on Earth "Human activities have contributed to deforestation, desertification, soil degradation, depletion of the ozone layer and climate change".
On the Moon, Space Travel has contributed to upward of 400,000 lbs of garbage. How could you consider yourself candidates to inhabit another celestial body that will outlive your speck of existence?
Below: is the 5 reasons Space Travel should be avoided ,authored by: Kevin R. Stone, MD, Orthopaedic surgeon, clinician, scientist, inventor, Dr. Stone who was trained at Harvard University in internal medicine and orthopaedic surgery and at Stanford University in general surgery.
1. Gravity
The lack of gravitational force is deadly to humans. The list of bodily systems that don’t work properly grows with every examination of astronauts who spend prolonged time in space. Starting at the top, the cerebrospinal fluid does not circulate properly in low gravity states, causing brain swelling and cerebral motor dysfunction. While loss of balance may be obvious, all types of proprioception are affected—some perhaps permanently. Changes in the brains of astronauts noted by MRI suggest premature aging—and the trips so far have been relatively short.
Normally our body’s fluids are pulled down by gravity and our systems adjust. In low gravity, the fluids redistribute. Faces, eyes, and brains all swell, overloading the cardiovascular system. Cardiac atrophy, with weakening heart muscle activity, will eventually disable all humans in space.
Bone formation depends on resistance exercises. The loss of bone mineral essentially ages astronauts by decades and makes fragility fractures a huge risk. Bone loss accelerates from 3% cortical loss per year to 1% per month. Most astronauts take up to three years to recover from a simple 4-month visit in space. It simply is not possible to exercise enough while in space. The osteoclasts cells that break bone down are ramped up more than the bone-forming cells, leading to an overload of calcium in the system.
Long-haul astronauts experience a decreased production of red blood cells.
The proprioception system that relies on the senses. The inner ear and blood pressure are so disturbed that all astronauts develop nausea for varying periods of time. A single episode of vomiting in a space suit can be fatal.
2. Radiation
Radiation exposure is 10 times higher in low orbit than it is on land. As insulating lead is too heavy for spacecraft, astronauts receive toxic doses of radiation every second. The damage to the retina, the thyroid, and the brain, along with the body’s most sensitive tissues, is permanent. Any residence in space would require massive shielding of housing and mobile units, along with clothing—making Mars or lunar colonists relatively stationary. Unanticipated solar flares produce fatal radiation doses in minutes, even through the walls of spacecraft. In one measured solar storm, the surface level of radiation on the planet Mars doubled.
No fetus could ever be conceived in this low gravity and high radiation environment. Most likely they would be stillborn, due to the 9-month exposure to radiation in the womb, and/or deformed upon delivery.
The eyes are particularly sensitive, and a higher incidence of radiation-induced cataracts in astronauts has been noted.
Alzheimer’s and other degenerative brain diseases are accelerated in the astronauts who have traveled into space so far.
Weakening of the immune system. Chromosomal changes in lymphocytes have been noted, and T-Cell function required for the immune system is reduced.
3. Depression
Fresh air is not only key to physical health, it’s also critical for mental health. People who are confined indoors with no exposure to fresh air (e.g., prisoners) display depression and multiple other health issues. While indoor gardens may provide the simulated scent and humidity of outdoor nature, they are a poor substitute for the real thing. The sense of taste is reduced, and foods do not taste the same. Smells freed from gravity permeate the shared living space, diminishing the quality of life. Combined with claustrophobia, lack of biodiversity, lack of privacy, no family, and reduced opportunities for social, romantic or sexual engagement, extended time in space is a prescription for mental disease.
The spacefarers’ complete reliance on a complex maze of critical engineering and life-support equipment, all supplied by the lowest bidder (if from public sources) or by private contractors with varying experience and little accountability. There is a no-return policy once in space, even for Amazon Prime.
Aside from personal depression, there are other mental health dangers—such as the lack of a police force with the ability to resist one man gone mad. Even if you could imprison someone for a crime in space, how could the colony spare the resources for even one unproductive member? There will be no provisions to support the mentally ill, the sick, or the incarcerated.
4. Infection
Microbes and viruses become more virulent in space, possibly leading to food poisoning, antibiotic resistance, and hard-to-treat infections. A likely confluence of microbiomes—interacting without medical services, a hospital environment or advanced testing facilities to control and treat infectious agents—risks complete colony wipeout from a single antibiotic-resistant organism.
5. Healthcare
The high likelihood of cancer formation from radiation, blood pressure elevations from lack of gravity, and the stress of living in confined quarters will all lead to complex health challenges in an environment where only basic emergency care is available. Astronaut crews will not have the range of medical experts, CT, MRI, or other tools necessary for accurate diagnoses. Nor will they have the surgical facilities for critical health care. The expected lifespan of extraterrestrial inhabitants will be shockingly short.

This is petition is to request modifications/ratifications to be made to The Agreement Governing the Activities of States/Countries on the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies:
1. No Crash Test, Mining or Attacks on Moon and other Celestial Bodies. We have enough resources on Earth and Garbage to clean up on Earth.
2. Space travel accumulated lots of waste. Funding should go towards Space Sanitation efforts. Repurpose and Remove Junk off Moon and out of Space. Including flags and poop debris. How disrespectful? The billion dollar question is how to not be destructive and sustain life on earth?
3. Travel to yield results, not to colonize or escape problems created on earth. All information found above Earth should not be proprietary and available to all; The Peoples should have the right to vote where these resources are allocated like current issues that effect us on Earth: "deforestation, desertification, soil degradation,ocean garbage, depletion of the ozone layer and climate change"etc... Or, other issues of escapism of current environmental threats... war, loss of jobs, risk of economic collapse, famine, poverty....
4.How to create a contraceptive against bad pollution and racial and xenophobic components that create fear of over-population? Spend efforts to re-educate and implement systems and infrastructures to prioritize the protection of our of our existing resources.
5.Space Missions are excessive. Limit the visits and make the purposes' and objective transparent nationwide to remedy existing problems on earth.
