RE: Weird Effects of Living in Space for an Extended Period

in #steemstem7 years ago

So space makes you younger AND taller. lol where do I sign up?
Jokes aside, we have evolved to live here on earth and its conditions. So living in space for an extended period weakens the bones and generally harms the body. This is why astronauts have to do at least two hours exercise, but they are still weak when they come back to earth. We have no clue whether humans could adapt to space conditions, mainly absence of gravity, but its definitely not easy.

Yes, you are right. The scientists were just fishing for something positive in the whole space experience. Unfortunately, there was nothing to gain from it and what was gained was lost within a few months if being back under gravity. Thanks for being here.
