Telemedicine? What about tele-everything else?? I really enjoy articles like this because they get the creative thoughts going about a wide range of challenges a smaller isolated population will have to deal with on a regular basis. I imagine that a lot of highly specialized technical work will have to be addressed in the same way as medicine will. Not to mention how unforeseen challenges and developments will have to be assisted with by something like "mission control". Who will be that mission control if the missions are being sent out from private corporations and how will information sharing about the solutions they developed happen? It's a very interesting direction space exploration is currently heading.
