Jesus christ that can’t be healthy long term, doesn’t microgravity lead to losses in bone and muscle density?
Yes, but the iss has dedicated exercise stations that help slow down the loss
That’s good, so honestly it’s just trying to stay sane on what was originally a short week or so trip, here’s hoping they didn’t have any plans for the holidays.
The average stay on the iss is 6 months, with the longest being nearly a year. They know how to deal with the effects of these things, so it’s not going to be a huge problem.
