  • What's different about our health in space? Former NASA astronaut Mike Massimino breaks down all the differences between how we take care of ourselves on Earth and in space. What happens to your body if you don't work out? What do you do if you need to vomit? What happens to your bones when you get back to Earth?
    Mike Massimino is a former NASA astronaut, senior advisor for space programs at the Intrepid Museum, and professor at Columbia University.

      The chances of getting kidney stones rises when you have low water retention/low urine outflow, calcium loss, and heavy sodium rich foods. Three for three in space. If you already have a predisposition for kidney stones on earth, you're gonna have a bad time in space.

    • @scottwpilgrim

    I worked on one of the treadmills on the ISS. What some astronauts didn't realize was that we could tell when the device was being used...even when an astronaut claimed they were using it when, in fact, they didn't.

      Its kind of tricky. Menstruation is the same in space as it is on earth but it is not convenient to take tampons up there. Also, the waste disposal system in ISS is not designed to deal with blood. So a lot of astronauts prefer taking birth control. But again packing the amount of birth control pills required for a mission requires a lot of space not to mention the mass of all those pills. Hence, so far one of the better methods of stopping ones period while on a mission is to go for an IUD or some other form of hormone releasing implant/injection to avoid all the logistical problems.
