移民太空先看看太空生活对身体的影响吧移民太空？先看看太空生活对身体的影响吧After living for nearly a year aboard the International Space Station, astronaut Scott Kelly returned to Earth in March.His mission to space is now complete, but another one is still underway: Scott is half of a novel NASA study designed to reveal “the subtle effects and changes that may occur in spaceflight as compared to Earth.”The study’s other half? His identical twin brother Mark, himself a retired NASA astronaut. While Scott was in space following a strict schedule, diet and exercise routine, Mark was leading a normal life in Arizona.Now, using Mark as a control, NASA researchers are performing a series of 10 studies to determine how Scott’s biology was altered from a year spent circling the Earth at 17,000 miles per hour. Samples from the twins’ were taken before and during the mission, and are being collected now that Scott has returned home.While the results won’t be in for at least a year, some of the researchers’ involved hosted a Reddit AMA to answer users’ questions about the study and its possible implications.Here’s what they know so far:Scott and Mark are ideal test subjects. They’re about “as similar in nature and nurture as you can get – identical twins, both astronauts,” said Susan Bailey, a professor of radiation cancer biology and oncology at Colorado State University, and one of the study’s investigators. Using a stockpile of baseline data, the researchers should be able to establish “molecular changes that are most impacted by space travel, so we can plan for ways to mitigate and protect against them,” added Christopher Mason, an associate professor of physiology and biophysics and another investigator on the project.Sustained time in space leaves the body vulnerable. “Spaceflight is altogether different from living on Earth. In addition to weightlessness, the atmospheric composition (CO2 levels), ambient noise levels, stress levels, etc. There are A LOT of variables,” Kjell Lindgren, a NASA astronaut, said
