Space Exploration: Past, Present, And Future

When in Space internet is faster (as long as the device is in range). This can be useful since the internet houses an extensive library on just about anything. Information can be powerful but what will happen when a crew member falls ill or injures himself and there is no available resources to use even if there is data on the subject. On all manned flights the possible Astronauts go through rigorous training to weed out any medical issues but they can still be there. Most conditions are unknown (even if medical history is) until it is too late. A good comparison to the health requirement would be a FAA 3rd Class Airman Medical Certificate.

Will the Future Great Britain of the Americas have to deal with a future revolution someday too? Or maybe Mars will be what America was for the great Trade triangle connecting England, America and Africa that focused on slave labor. It is a very good analogy and perhaps we can use history as an indication of the future
