💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🦵👩‍🚀 British surgeon and #Paralympics sprinter John McFall, an #ESA #astronaut, explains why having two legs matters less in #microgravity.

On his upcoming #Haven1 mission, his above-knee amputation may reduce fluid shift and kidney stone risk, while engineers adapt #prosthetics for the #spacestation’s handrails.
