Humans are tough and versatile

REB — 6/22/2006 2:56:39 PM (archived)

"Inefficient little creatures once they get past their planet. Too many
things that have to be maintained and the chances for system failures
are high."

I donâ€™t know about that. Think about this;

Humans have stood on the surface of the moon with just a spacesuit on. Really think about that. They were not in some 3 foot thick shelled enclosure- they stood on the surface in a fabric suit.

Humans are pretty tough and versatile creature. We are good at finding a way to do things when we want something bad enough.
