摘要
For over 20 years, astronauts have lived and worked aboard the International Space Station. Astronauts face many challenges living in space, like not having Earth’s gravity. This means that astronauts do everything—from brushing their teeth to doing science experiments—while floating. Not having Earth’s gravity makes everything more difficult, and it changes astronauts’ brains. Over the last decade, we tested 15 astronauts before and after their space travel. We measured their walking, balance, and coordination, and collected pictures of their brains. This article talks about our results. We found that, when astronauts returned to Earth, they had problems moving, like trouble walking and balancing. We also found that spaceflight changed how astronauts’ brains look and function. We finish our article by talking about what is still left to learn. Our big goal is to keep astronauts healthy for very long missions—to Mars and beyond!
