Human extraterrestrial colonies: the danger of cannibalism according to an astrobiologist
Humans in the first extraterrestrial colonies could be forced to resort to cannibalism if food resources ran out, especially those dating back to the first difficult harvests in greenhouses.
This may be an exaggerated prediction, but Cockle serves himself in saying that the constant supply of food, when organizing a mission in which a human group must reside for a long time in an extraterrestrial colony, is a fundamental aspect to be taken into account, and a key question.

Sir Isaac Newton’s first law of motion states that an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed unless acted upon by an outside force. And in space, the only thing to slow down a spacecraft is gravity.
Before a spacecraft is even launched, scientists work out precisely where planets and other bodies will be to determine how the gravity of these objects will affect the trajectory of the craft.
Noemí Pinilla-Alonso: The Spanish astronomer set to explore the largest and most mysterious
Hailing from Oviedo in the northern region of Asturias, Noemí Pinilla-Alonso says that as a child, contemplating the stars was hard to do as it was almost always cloudy. However, every summer her family went to Toro, in Zamora, where her parents, a salesman and a teacher, grew up.
