 Effects
of Space on the Human Body from JSC: The
human body is designed for and functions best in the presence
of Earth's gravity. In space, astronauts enter an environment
we call microgravity, which affects the body in many way, including
changes to the cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, and neurovestibular
systems. As humans explore further into space, it is vitally important
that we understand the effects of spaceflight on the human body
and prevent or mitigate the adverse effects so that astronauts
can spend longer periods of time in space.
 We
will be joined by expert Craig
Schafer, who is responsible to make sure the International
Space Station (ISS) runs smoothly by making sure the payloads
get the quiet microgravity environment we promised them.
