There are plenty of disadvantages to manned space flight.

  • There is a lot of deadly radiation put off by the sun, and with no atmosphere to protect the astronauts they're always exposed to it.
  • You need to worry about feeding the crew, and brining supplies for the duration of the trip, which could be months.
  • You also need to worry about mental stability of crew members. You wouldn't want to psychopath in a small, confined area where they could possibly snap and potentially harm the other crew members.
  • Long-term exposure to zero gravity has proved harmful to bone structure.
