Astronautics Question:
What long-term effects human body faces due to weightlessness in space?
Answer:
I understand that one problem is that the bones lose some calcium. Exercise helps but it does not stop this completely. This is a major area of study for manned spaceflight. It is a problem we will need to solve before we send people to Mars. It is a long trip.
