Space exploration has always been a source of fascination for humans. From blockbuster movies like The Martian to the incredible feats of astronauts like Sergei Krikalev, who spent more than 803 days in space, we are constantly amazed by the possibilities of space travel. But what happens if you stay in space for too long?The human body has evolved to function under gravitational conditions, so when we are in space, our bodies undergo physical changes. Without gravity, our muscles and bones weaken, particularly in our legs and lower back.
Astronauts often lose about 5% of their weight during a typical 4- to 6-month stay on the Space Station. This is not life-threatening, but it is important to eat balanced meals with the right amount of vitamins, minerals and calories to ensure good health. In addition to the physical effects of being in space, astronauts also face other challenges. Many find that they are not as hungry or that the food doesn't taste as good. They also need to be careful about exposure to radiation, which can damage the immune system and make them susceptible to infections.
To protect space travelers, NASA and other space agencies are exploring the effects of radiation and testing different materials that can be used in suits and spaceships. Finally, astronauts must also be aware of the dangers of being exposed to extreme temperatures. If you are exposed to extreme cold or heat in space, your body will begin to vaporize and your tongue and eyes will boil. Without air in your lungs, your blood will stop sending oxygen to your brain. The biotech company Samsara Therapeutics has expanded its R&D lab space at The Oxford to explore how long humans can survive in space. While Matt Damon did a great job making a living on Mars, it left viewers wondering how long humans can survive in space.
Depending on where you are in space, this will take between 12 and 26 hours, but if you're near a star, you'll burn yourself to a crisp. In conclusion, while it is possible for humans to survive in space for extended periods of time, there are many physical and psychological challenges that must be taken into account. Astronauts must take care to eat balanced meals with the right amount of vitamins and minerals, protect themselves from radiation exposure, and be aware of extreme temperatures.
