The goal? To figure out the long-term effects on the human body from being out of this world. She speaks with Bloomberg’s Emily Chang on “Bloomberg West”. With this occasion, the worldwide Space Station has set up a conference with Earth where he talked about his experience so far.

“I think that it’s so exciting, and like Sebastian, I’m overwhelmed to be here”, Davis said.

During his 12-month tenure, Kelly will drink about 730 liters of recycled urine and sweat – some of which, you may recall, will come from the Russian cosmonauts, who don’t partake in the processed pee themselves.

Scientists will use the twins to research human molecular responses to the physical, physiological, and environmental effects of microgravity.

Surprisingly enough, this actually isn’t the first time that NASA has been a bit careless in identifying bodies in space. Well, it’s certainly not released into the atmosphere, unlike the feces produced by astronauts aboard the global Space Station (ISS) now floating around in low-Earth orbit.

Samples for the comparative genetics studies involving Kelly and his identical twin brother, retired NASA astronautMark Kelly, continue to be collected with some already returned to Earth. A round-trip mission to the red planet could take at least three years, said astronaut Terry Virts, who spoke with both Kelly brothers on Monday during an event in the nation’s capital, with the help of a video link to the space station.

Within NASA’s infographic on Scott Kelly’s half of year in the stars, there are a number of eye-catching statistics.

The other great advantages of global collaboration on a Mars voyage include the “efficiencies” gained when different countries are contributing, so one nation does not have the shoulder the entire program itself, Virts claimed.

This is Kelly’s third time on the worldwide Space Station.

“This is a very closed environment”.

The extended ISS mission will also reveal how radiation in space may have affected Scott, and reveal more about the bone loss and vision problems previously associated with living in space, the AFP added. “But we can’t. And that’s what I miss, after people”.

“It gets everyone excited that this isn’t just fiction and the movie, but it’s actually reality right now and orbiting above us every 90 minutes in the worldwide Space Station”, said Kirsi Kuutti, an electrical engineering major.
