Astronauts on the ISS lose about 1-2% of their bone density per month in microgravity — meaning a six-month mission costs them as much bone mass as a postmenopausal woman loses in a year — and the countermeasures NASA developed to slow that loss are now being studied as treatments for osteoporosis patients on the ground

The Mental Health Journey of Astronauts Returning Home: Re-Entry Adaptation

Astronauts often have an emotional change after seeing Earth from space, termed 'the overview effect', the ultimate space, every division.

Once the first Starships 🚀 reach #Mars, the job of setting up camp for human #astronauts will fall to #Optimus. The bipedal #humanoids 🤖 are to install power plants and other infrastructure, as well as scout for resources such as water ice.

Given #Starship’s touted 100-metric-ton payload capacity, Zubrin believes that SpaceX could deliver an army of #rovers 🛞 and rotorcraft 🚁. Experts agree that some form of #robotic automation will be essential https://aerospaceamerica.aiaa.org/aiaa-spacex/

The standard cultural image of astronaut food has not, on the available evidence, updated meaningfully since the 1980s. The image is of the silver pouch, the freeze-dried ice cream from the museum gif...
