💁🏻‍♀️ 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.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🐭🧬 #Apollo #astronauts preferred skipping on the #Moon, a gait adults rarely use on #Earth.

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.
