I just saw a video of the hundredth woman in space. Honestly just felt so bizzare that there’s humans that have just … left the planet. Thats insane.

      A human absolutely could walk 100 miles, and people often have. The weight thing needs to be scaled for body size, but you can carry quite a bit while doing it, too.

      The only maybe-counterexample anthropologists talk about is actually sled dogs. Horses run out of steam faster. Presumably they’ve thought about about camels too.
