Kelly’s and Kornienko’s mission will not remotely answer all of the biomedical riddles space raises.
Scott Kelly’s and Mikhail Kornienko’s one year aboard the worldwide Space Station should help scientists understand what problems might arise during prolonged spaceflight. The information will be invaluable as NASA looks to send a manned mission to Mars sometime in the 2030s. NASA released the below infographic on Monday pointing out some key data points around the effect of a year in space on the human body and at least one about the effect of human waste on space.
Another astronaut, Mark Kelly, stated that the ability to go to Mars is not based on technology and engineering challenges. “I feel pretty good overall”, he added. On hand were NASA astronauts Terry Virts, Mark Kelly and a special guest who beamed in from on orbit – Kelly’s brother Scott. “And that’s why we’re studying this”, said Scott Kelly, NASA Astronaut.
