Historical flight of blue origin, including a female crew, including Katy Perry, caused uncertain emotions for many. Now, the criticism of celebrities has been added that a short -term stay in space hidden potential health risks behind the “abuse”. NASA identified five basic dangers associated with flights outside the atmosphere.
Cosmic radiation
Apart from the protective magnetic field of the world, travelers are exposed to dangerous radiation. “Energic protons and severe cosmic radiation nuclei can lead to biological damage: the appearance of malignant neoplasms, degenerative changes in tissues, central nervous system and acute radiation syndromes”.
Not to be present of the crew
Long space travel can adversely affect the mental health of astronauts. Therefore, the crew has a special preparation to work under stress conditions. Although the Blue Origin crew received a two -day training from the flight, such a short temporary education period could not be enough.
Distance from the ground
The distance from the earth provides access to emergency medical care. In case of flight of a female team, this factor was less critical, because the capsule is only 62 miles from the earth surface.
Gravity Areas
A change in gravity can provide dizziness, bone loss and muscle mass, vision and nausea. Space teams develop strategies to minimize these symptoms, including regular physical exercises and special additives.
Indoor environment
The protection of insulation within the spaceship is a separate danger. The capsule is completely autonomous, which means that a person does not need pilotism.
Although the crew did not leave the capsule, it was only opened to experience weightlessness from the seats. The effect of cosmic radiation and cosmic adaptation syndrome (CAS) can lead to symptoms: headache, nausea, vomiting and dizziness.
