    Is the bone thing a developmental issue or could someone still gradually adjust to it as an adult? Obviously that sort of time would be impossible to get as a belter, but just curious of the biology of it

      If I’m not mistaken it is a developmental issue — wasn’t an O.P.A. agent tortured using the moons gravity? Or maybe they were in orbit, I’m not sure.

      I’m pretty sure it’s also a major problem later on with the new planets being found — Belters have it way more rough than both Earthers and Martians. Like, to the tune of ‘get me the fuck off this rock’ rough.

        how far into the future is this set? is it possible medical science gets advanced enough to surgically implant a robot skeleton that can repair itself and grow with the person? if these belters make a universal healthcare system, they could have free cybernetic surgeries for masses of belters able to withstand surface gravity of planets. should i just watch it, is the expanse a good show?
