Why do we need to go into space and more importantly, why do taxpayers need to fund $100 billion field trips to low earth orbit?

The politicians of the past approved of the space station using the expensive shuttle with its cargo bay to build much of it. When this white elephant is gone, we will build new stations much cheaper. There are people involved though from that time including astronauts who helped immensely in teaching us how to live in space. Unfortunately, they do not get the credit in a woke environment.

Much evidence answering your question has been offered and you go every time.

I’m happy they know how to deal with bone loss in space, but people on earth don’t deal with bone loss from microgravity.

But they do have to deal with bone loss.


Yes, microgravity bone loss studies on astronauts and in rodent models in space can help develop strategies and treatments for bone loss on Earth, including osteoporosis and age-related bone loss.

Here's how:

• Accelerated Model for Studying Bone Loss:
  Microgravity induces accelerated bone loss, providing a unique environment to study the mechanisms of bone loss and test potential treatments in a more condensed timeframe.
• Developing Countermeasures:
  Research in space can lead to the development of countermeasures to prevent or mitigate bone loss, which can then be applied to people on Earth, including those with age-related bone loss or osteoporosis.
• Understanding Bone Physiology:
  Studying bone cells and bone remodeling in microgravity can provide insights into how gravity affects bone health and how bone cells respond to changes in mechanical loading, which can improve our understanding of bone physiology and bone diseases.
• Testing Novel Therapies:
  The ISS National Lab, for example, has been used to test novel osteoporosis therapies that prevent further bone loss and build new bone, demonstrating the robustness of these therapies in extreme bone loss conditions.
• Mice in Space Studies:
  Scientists use mice in space to study how bone and muscle mass are affected by microgravity, and these studies can provide valuable insights into how to prevent or treat bone and muscle loss in humans, both in space and on Earth.
  
  Understanding the Impact of Gravity:
  By studying the effects of microgravity on bones, scientists can gain a better understanding of how gravity affects bone formation and bone density, which can inform treatments for osteoporosis and other bone-related conditions.
  
  Preventing Bone Loss in Space:
  The research can help develop strategies to prevent or mitigate bone loss in astronauts during long-duration space missions, which can also be applied to people on Earth who experience bone loss due to immobility or other factors.

That's science. Marener hates it.
