Human adaptations to living in space?

[Accelerator]

So having six-inch long pointy ears and weird-looking mechanical eyes is perfectly normal where you live?

I was referring to the comments about the boobs.

Unless, of course, such small tracts of land are more than those fellows have ever seen in their lives.

Oh those eyes are meant to be mechanical?

I think thats more a generic upgrade rather than something space specific.
As for the ears, I don't see how they could help anything.



Just make the people more monkey.
You don't need to make them monkeys.
do it.

[Accelerator]

Nah, those aren't mechanical. Just how the artist drew them.

Ok. yeah. I don't get it. Doesn't she look perfectly normal. Except for the blue hair.

Ignoring the anime convention of large eyes, breasts don't look like that except in 3 specific circumstances:

1) She has implants that have gone (or are going) horribly wrong and are absorbing water. This is apparently normal for her race, since her clothing fits perfectly.

2) She's in zero-g and they're floating. This is unlikely as she's walking towards the male in the first panel, rather than floating.

3) They're in mid bounce as she's walking - while possible, it does call into question her clothing choice of why they're effectively 'individually packaged', since her clothing touches her sternum between her 'fluid regulators'. About the only clothing choice I know of that does that, are underwired corsets and basques and the underclothing support should be visible on something that skin tight.

Unless, of course, such small tracts of land are more than those fellows have ever seen in their lives.

They're not small - they're at least a C or a D cup, based on body proportions alone.

If she's your typical anime waifu size, then I'd move that letter at least 1 place up the alphabet.

I'm wondering if the bowling balls attached to her chest are a critical component of their deep space adaptations.

It seems The Jack was right about the powerful posterior muscles.

edit: Oooh, maybe adapted breast muscles to support breast feeding?

I was thinking more along the lines of a built in hydration level monitor. It's more easily checkable than us (unless we're significantly dehydrated, we have to do visual colorimetric assay on our liquid waste stream), so if they've shrunk or sagging, she needs to drink more water.


From second hand observations, lactation is primarily pressure based as result of hormonal effects. Nursing should therefore work in micro-gravity or zero-g as normal, much like sucking water from a squeezy bottle - no muscle required.

Yes, we do not use muscles for that, but imagine how much much more time she could devote to space stuff if she can reduce feeding time due to pressure refuelling.

I do however like your concept of external health monitors.

[Accelerator]

Argh. Guys. Ok with the tits.

I can change the picture if you want.

Hello, forum, from the United Kingdom. I think Human physiology is adapted to living within the atmosphere of Earth, and a certain amount of oxygen is required in the air we breathe.
