Space is not a friendly place. I occasionally do these type of thought experiments and am also left feeling small and squishy.

It’s okay technological advancement will eventually render our weaknesses obsolete for the most part id wager, give it a few hundred more years and we’ll probably have equipment that can survive ridiculously harsh conditions.

We’re definitely super squishy but we’re also pretty smart (for the most part) so we can probably become less squishy.

The entire history of human advancement in a nutshell.

We conquered this planet when we got really good at throwing stuff, getting good at throwing stuff in space is the logical next step.

Only problem is that we will definitely have killed ourselves before we get the chance to get good at throwing things in space. Even we did, we would use that expertise to throw at someone, probably one of our one. Again, killing ourselves.
