How to keep astronauts healthy in deep space
Briefly

Space exploration is entering a transformative phase, spearheaded by NASA's Artemis programme and international collaborations among over 50 nations. The goal is to return humans to the Moon by 2026 and eventually reach Mars. Meanwhile, China is working on its crewed lunar missions and a lunar base by 2030. Public-private partnerships, highlighted by SpaceX's Polaris Dawn mission, are crucial for these advancements. However, astronauts face serious health risks from radiation and microgravity, impacting both physical and mental health, emphasizing the need for innovative research to ensure the safety and well-being of space travelers.
"As humanity sets its eyes on the Moon and Mars, these and other challenges must be addressed using innovative technology and research, such innovations should also benefit people on Earth."
