they wanted to.  Saying that humans can survive in low gravity
is not the same as having a good quality of life. We have no
idea how it would affect the heart, the skeleton, muscles,

studying the effects of microgravity and reduced gravity on the
human body, we actually have a VERY GOOD idea how it affects
those things. We would have a better idea with long-term study
in a reduced (as opposed to zero) gravity environment, but the
key point here is that reduced
