48. The question is whether we can support our un-evolved physical selves in space

long enough for our bodies to evolve to the point where space is a natural environment for us. Until that time, the amount of energy required to support human life is prohibitive, it seems to me.

As others in the thread have pointed out, unmanned exploration is quite a different matter and ought to be pursued and funded.
