   How does space travel affect human life?

   • NASA has learned that the ecosystem inside the spacecraft plays a big role in everyday astronaut life in space. Microbes can change characteristics in space, and micro-organisms that naturally live on the human body are transferred more easily from person to person in closed habitats, such as the space station.

   What happens to astronauts if they go to space?

   • They have to undergo a special rehabilitation programme a year after returning to earth to rebuild muscles and bones - and may never regain their previous bone mass. The exposure to higher levels of radiation in space also means astronauts may be more likely to suffer from cancer later on in life.
