| Space is hell on the human body. Micro-gravity stresses our bodies to a near-breaking point, and that is even before taking into account the sheer complexity of treating unexpected illness or injury within a cramped and closed environment with finite resources. When the human body no longer has to fight against Earth's gravity, it will suffer reduced muscle mass, strength, and aerobic capacity. Exercise can mitigate this, but cannot address the weakening of our bones - and the risk of even a slight impact causing terrible breakage. Fortunately, we have now made great strides in addressing the bone density issue. Where previously calcium supplements to re-strengthen bones carried too high a risk of causing kidney stones, a breakthrough in slow-release, subcutaneous capsules has been proven to keep bones sturdy even over months-long flights, and without side effects. The efficacy over years or even decades is another matter, but in combination with targeted, strength-building exercise regimes and future refinements to the treatment, we are confident of solving both this and other such problems. | ||||||||||||||||||

| "What we're doing is dangerous - people are going to get sick or hurt. It would be madness to pretend otherwise. The best thing we can do is ensure our fail-safes are simple enough that even the least skilled among us can implement them under the worst of circumstances."
