As humans explore further into space, it is vitally important that we understand the effects of spaceflight on the human body. When astronauts return from a mission, they receive thorough checkups to determine these effects and be assured of their health and safety. Join guest expert, Dr. Phil Scarpa, a medical doctor, to understand this process.

Astronauts James Donald Halsell, Jr. and Bruce Melnick will be talking about their experiences while living in space.
