Let's test it! They guy inside will be reduced to the consistency of peanut butter.
The future in space is robots. Not those ridiculous little Martian toys but 4-5 foot-tall robots with long striding ability to walk up and over large rocks, replete with all human sensory, including the big one, TOUCH, sent back home instantaneously, all movements controlled from here. Without the need for food, sleep, oxygen or gravity so their "muscles'' won't melt away en route or upon landing. Made much tougher than us for 100s of blast-off and landings. Any nation can build them to be shot out into space in differently-designed ships taking advantage of a non-human robot's need and abilities, not a human's.
And any human that gets jealous and wants to grow up to be a space robot, science will eventually be able to transform them into one. Then an entire population of 'em can live indefinitely on a real star trek, undergoing periodic on-board repairs that will allow them to live for millenia. THAT'S the ticket!
Biting the hand that feeds IT
