Waste Astronaut on a Waste Terrestrial

If you were to crash on an extraterrestrial planet, this is what would happen. After traversing interstellar star systems for hundreds of light years, you find yourself trapped on a planet that you have no knowledge about. You should remain within your spaceship and try to ascertain what is going on around you as long as it is supplied with food, water, and air. But time would be critical since your supplies would run out rapidly. Now, your purpose on this planet was not to perish, but to learn as much as you could about it in the process of attempting to survive. There's one thing you would need to find out before you could even see your surroundings.

It's the gravity of the planet you landed on. Although it's unlikely, it's possible that the gravity will be exactly the same as it is at home. You would most likely need some time to adjust to the gravity of this environment. It might be lower than Earth's, which would induce severe back pain, tense muscles, and blurred vision. However, it might be stronger than Earth's, making you feel heavier and possibly even capable of breaking bones. The next task is to determine which kind of star this alien planet is orbiting and where in the stellar system it is located.

There are thousands of exoplanets discovered orbit the most common type of star in the universe, a red dwarf, but red dwarfs are smaller and cooler than our own Sun, so the planet you've landed on would have to orbit its star at a much closer distance than Earth orbits the Sun, at least if you wanted it to be habitable with liquid water on the surface, but being this close could result in a harsh environment.

You would have to take refuge underground if you were unable to protect yourself from the radiation; otherwise, you would have cataracts, become sterile, and have a significantly higher chance of developing cancer from prolonged radiation exposure. Another risk of being so close to your star is that your new planet may be tidally locked. While you're studying the star, notice if there are sunrises and sunsets or if the Sun never seems to move in the sky, the one side would be burning hot, while the other would be ice cold. You'd be on a planet trapped between two extremes, and your best chance of survival would be to move toward the Terminator line, which would be the thin strip of land separating the day and night sides. The next thing you'd want to consider is whether you'd have an atmosphere that you could breathe just because it's in the habitable zone doesn't mean it's habitable for you you'd need oxygen lucky for you Exoplanets with breathable air are more prevalent than you may imagine, according to astronomers.

Keep your oxygen tank nearby as you experiment with breathing out there as an astronaut you've already been in hardships that come with being an astronaut like living with different levels of gravity various magnetic fields and of course psychological stress but landing on an alien planet you'd have a few more things to add to the list if you had a weakened immune system you could be vulnerable to infection from microorganisms we've never seen before if you had a weakened immune system you could be vulnerable to infection so you'd need to take precautions, not just for your own safety, but for the possible life on this alien planet. You'd be carrying who knows how many pathogens and microorganisms from Earth, which could kill or wipe out organisms you haven't even detected yet. Speaking of which, could there be life on this alien planet you've crashed into? Your best bet would be to head to the nearest source of water. The first thing you would have to do is try to communicate with the intelligent life form if you were to make first contact with one. Ultimately, you wouldn't want to uncover the greatest discovery in human history just to be assassinated by them out of hostility or fear. Linkos is a language that was created in the 1960s by a Dutch mathematician with the sole intention of using it to communicate with extraterrestrials. You would begin cautiously and continue to learn the language such that both you and the alien could

but the likelihood that you would land on a planet with seemingly no intelligent life would be higher. You would be completely alone, with no humans or aliens to converse with, and you would spend thousands of hours in complete isolation. Eventually, you might experience hallucinations and hear voices in your head; this would be your new reality. However, none of this would change the fact that you would need to stay alert and make use of any planetary resources you can find; you might not return home for some time. In the interim, you would still need to eat, and if you saw any alien life forms strolling past you, you might start looking of steaming them if only...
