In the 1960s Manfred E. Clynes and Nathan S. Kline posed cyborgs as a way of imagining human flourishing in space. Kline and Clynes posited that implanting humans with osmotic pumps that would allow the continuous injection of chemicals would allow for the administration of medication to astronauts to prevent illness during space travel. One of the illnesses that were planed on being prevented was the belief at the time that space travel could lead to astronauts experiencing psychotic episodes. It is believed that Clynes and Kline performed trials on this pump, and the anti-psychotic drugs that would be used in it, on the patients at Rockland State Hospital in New York where Clynes and Kline worked as researchers.
