Shields up: New ideas might make active shielding viable
Active shielding was first proposed in the '60s. We’re finally close to making it work.

That's all absurd, cramming a crew into a tiny dark cylinder, deep
inside tons of magnets, to reduce their radiation exposure a little.
Space is not people-friendly. Earth is.
Traveling to or living on Mars would be lethal. Living on the moon
would be bad too.

Yes that may be more dangerus, tha tI why I like the elctrostatic solution.

Maybe we could convert some comet, live inside it,
use its material for power water and shelter
and put an engine on it and start interstellar travel:

Oh I would not mind flying the comet thing, would want to have a say in the design and food chosen though.
but it will take generations to reach any target destination.
So you have to bring whole families ,
or as things go now, just some skin and have a computah hatch you
and teach you when growing up near the destination.
Makes you wonder if the first life on earth was brought here in a similar way >(circular reasoning).

Well I won't attack your religious beliefs
Just watched some news story where a sort of computer robot was teaching kids...
Again, an other science program today on TV about planets: all sort of basic chemistry was found
on some moons and asteroids.
They did a testing in the lab and made RNA from just basic chemicals added some heat cycling and dry soak cycle
like you will find on planets (sun, tides):

Read up on the ways our cells operate and reproduce. It's astounding.
Darwin was very smart, but he had no idea how cells work. I think that
if he had, he'd have been skeptical of random evolution and selection
as our origin.

Our cells are extraordinary, so their creation might have been an extraordinary process. Refuse to think about possibilities if that's

There are youtube videos about cell replication that are mind

It is all very simple.
Too simple. It's not DNA, not cells, it's unlikely to continue

"intelligent design." Well, moderately intelligent.

Thinking about possibilities helps electronic design too.
There are lots of chemists and biologists who think that self-
replicating RNA is a credible step on the path towards evolving
life. There is no need for the seeds of life to have come from
elsewhere than earth, although that possibility is not excluded.
It's remarkable that the reproduction of RNA and DNA still today
can be made to work simply by cycling the temperature of the right
mixture of chemicals, much like day and night cycles, as may well
have happened on a young earth.
To our current knowledge, actual intelligent designers are even
less probable than random mutations producing a working cell. How
did the intelligent designers come to be? They would have been
subject to the same kind of constraints as life on earth, the
right conditions and enough time.
In fact, as long as we haven't found evidence of life elsewhere
in the universe, we can't have any real idea of how common or rare
it is. However, we *can* be pretty confident that *intelligent*
life is at least a few million times less likely than just any
life. On those grounds, I have less trouble believing in evolution
than in intelligent design.
Darwin's evolution provides a plausible path to the complex life
we see today, without requiring intelligent or divine intervention.
That's its strength. Postulating such intervention is superstition
unless direct convincing evidence is found.
As for the possible existence of alien civilisations with billions
of years advance on us, I'm skeptical. Based on what we see on earth,
I tend to think that technically advanced civilisations are unstable.
I think they'll blow themselves up rather quickly, on cosmic time
scales.
