Discarding your body for better #Space functioning is incredibly primitive technology.

Discarding your body for better #Space functioning is incredibly primitive technology. It is comparable to mounting a floppy disk reader in your head a few years before wireless flash brain interfaces #BCI are invented. Future exoskeletons will be so ultra-high tech you won't even be aware you are wearing one.
Yes in the short term this primitive tech may be useful for early adopters, but in the longer term there will be no mass uptake until the tech becomes ultra-sophisticated, which means you won't need to be a disembodied brain to do anything.
The Daily Mail wrote regarding professor Warwick: "He said that we could one day send a vehicle to an alien planet with a human brain inside."
And: "He believes we could slow global warming by upgrading our bodies to be more environmentally friendly."
LOL, if you can send a brain you can send a body, or if you send a brain the brain will soon be overtaken by quicker spaceships carrying entire human bodies, subsequently invented due to accelerating technology. Furthermore if you can be a brain without a body you will also likely have the technology to reverse global warming.
The Daily Mail added: "He thinks that our current incarnation in skin and and bone may not even survive that much longer on our own planet, let alone others."
Warwick's views are comparable to rushing to buy a #Betamax video recorder a few months before they are discontinued, or buying HD DVD just before Blue Ray became the leader.
Motherboard Vice wrote: "Nanotechnology presents a second possibility for robotic enhancement, by augmenting ourselves from the inside out, rather than the outside in. Again, we're not talking about a cosmic cure-all, in which ingesting nanobots makes us 100 percent Kryptonian (if only). But this line of inquiry could be promising for warding off diseases—especially cancers brought on by exposure to solar radiation, which poses a big problem for would-be Martian pioneers." http://motherboard.vice.com/blog/be-your-own-spaceship-how-we-can-adapt-human-bodies-for-alien-worlds
The reality is humans will soon invent ways to stop all radiation, already we are starting to understand the problem (our understanding will increase massively via forthcoming Strong-AI): https://plus.google.com/u/0/112564607617850290297/posts/FDv7CGuenGg
