Astronauts who have seen the whole Earth at once describe the overview effect — every war and border and argument hanging in silence — and afterwards traffic and small talk can feel strangely far away, like the world seen through glass

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🪐🧬 Ethan Siegel examines whether #Mars’s 38% #gravity is a dealbreaker for human #colonization.
Drawing on #NASA’s RIDGE framework and decades of zero-gravity astronaut #data, he walks through the physiological hazards bone loss, muscle atrophy, fluid shifts, and space anemia. He concludes that while serious, these obstacles may not be insurmountable for a colony that never plans to return to #Earth.

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🦐🚀 Scientists at the #Okayama University of #Science used a specialized high-speed spinning #machine to simulate weightlessness for kuruma shrimp and sea monkeys.
The team observed that while the larger #shrimp needed mesh netting to steady themselves, the smaller brine shrimp thrived and grew normally over several days. The #research provides a look at how #future #astronauts might raise #aquaculture setups on the #Moon.

Four first-time astronauts with only four hours of training took the first diagnostic X-rays ever captured on human beings in orbit, and radiologists on the ground judged the images clinically usable enough to catch a fracture a quarter-million miles from the nearest hospital

In March 2025, four rookie astronauts on SpaceX’s Fram2 polar mission carried a portable X-ray machine into orbit, and three of them, after just four hours of preflight training, produced the first diagnostic radiographs ever taken in space, imaging each other and a smartwatch without any support from the ground

Researchers found that #mice adopt the same skipping gait in simulated lunar #gravity, but lose it when their #proprioception cells are disabled. The gait may offer a useful speed stability trade off on uneven low gravity terrain.

A few hours ago, the Soyuz MS-29 spacecraft was launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan, and, after a little more than three hours, reached the International Space Station with three new crew members on board. It docked with the Station's Prichal module. The ultra-fast track was used, which halves the journey duration and is used whenever the Station's position makes it possible.
