Episode notes

We're doing the same deep profiling and molecular characterization of these astronauts as we've done for that. So far, actually, there'll be a lot of this presented later this year. It seems like it's pretty safe. We can see real stress on the body,. Some of the same changes that Scott Kelly experienced. But for the most part, they returned back to normal even for a short three-day mission. They went basically several hundred kilometers higher than the space station or the Hubble normally rests more radiation in the far that you get from Earth. For the Polaris mission, they're going to go even farther.
