What Happens to Your Body in Space.
The effects of long term space travel and how it impacts the human condition.
Traveling in space is dangerous. Aside from the known negative elements involved with space exploration, such as the possibility of a crack occurring in the hull due to meteors striking your spaceship, there are some lesser-known problems that may have a most unfortunate impact on your biosystem.
Don’t get me wrong! While the thought of traveling around in the great expanse of the unknown is an exhilarating idea, my hesitation in booking the next available flight out lies within the accumulative impacts that intergalactic travel has on the human body.
I am about to provide you with a few examples of what most certainly will happen to your body if you spend a substantial amount of time in space.
If, however, you make it to the end of this story and still think that a voyage in the cosmos sounds like a party, then hats off to you and might I suggest grabbing an application for Space Force on your way out.
Cosmic Radiation
I would be at a great fault if I didn’t mention radiation as the number one reason for not going to space. Cosmic radiation damages the body’s cells along with DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) effectively causing irreparable damages.
