But after 50+ years of space flight no one has had complications. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 3 points 7 months ago (1 child) Though most don't stay more than a few months up there. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 7 months ago* also who would stay more than 6 months in space? a journey to mars takes about 6 months on the most fuel-efficient trajectory. due to how weird orbital mechanics are, there's one (and only this one) most fuel-efficient trajectory between earth and mars and it's the so-called Hohmann Transfer Orbit ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hohmann_transfer_orbit ). It takes 6 months. permalink fedilink source parent [–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 19 points 7 months ago* Veins are small so capillary action keeps things in order. With no gravity though you'll have higher blood pressure to your head (and less to the legs)- it kinda makes astronauts faces a bit puffy. iirc this can slightly negatively affect vision long term. Most of your body processes are in a small enough space that capillary action overtakes gravity. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 7 months ago If you put it on a sandwich, yes. permalink fedilink source parent
