When you sign on to be an astronaut, you put a lot on the line. Coupled with chance of disaster before even leaving the planet, you run a high risk of developing cardiovascular disease (https://www.nature.com/articles/srep29901) from weightlessness and space radiation — just one of the many factors you probably didn’t think about when you were a kid, daydreaming about stepping onto the moon. ***
With a trip to Mars alone lasting a little over three years, (https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/nasa-releases-plan-outlining-next-steps-in-the-journey-to-mars) astronauts must take medical emergencies in their own hands to solve problems when their ship is millions of miles from earth. Experts are suggesting that 3D printing may provide a way for crew members to create the tools they need to save the lives of fellow astronauts. *** Read more...
