NASA scientists are intensifying their investigation into a vision disorder that affects 70% of astronauts on long-duration space missions, as new research reveals the condition poses mounting risks for future Mars exploration 1 2. Space- Associated Neuro-Ocular Syndrome (SANS) causes crew members to experience blurred reading vision, swollen optic discs, and flattened eyeballs that can persist for years after returning to Earth
Hmm, mankind’s glorious expansion into the Milky Way has been temporarily suspended while we figure out the correct kind of reading glasses we’ll need.

Praise the machines tbh. They’re just so much better for this.
You’re just saying that for when the machines start the uprising.
