The effects of microgravity on human physiology are well-document. Thanks to many experiments involving long-term stays aboard the ISS, which includes NASA’s famous Twin Study, it is established that astronauts will experience a loss in muscle mass and bone density. Recent research has also shown that the loss of bone strength is something. Other noted effects include changes in cardiovascular health, organ function, eyesight, psychological effects, and gene expression.
“Mars and the Moon are much smaller than Earth. I wonder if humans will eventually live in these places… It is not known if mammals can breed and grow normally in a space with low gravity such as the moon. However, the gravity inside ‘Lunagrass’ is the same as that of the earth, and it is possible to give birth, and if you live here, you can maintain a body that can return to the Earth at any time.
Other ideas addressed in the presentation include an Earth-Moon transport that would rely on the same principles to simulate artificial gravity while in space. These are known as the “Luna Beagle” and “Space Express,” respectively. The animation shows what the former would look like, a hexagonal-shaped vessel with modules extending from a central spoke that rotates to provide artificial gravity for all those inside.
storybywill Such an exciting time, full of all these ideas and concepts!
storybywill Sounds absolutely nausea-inducing 😆😆
