A review published in Aging Cell has explored the impact of spaceflight on human and other organisms' health and aging [1]. Hazards of spaceflight Will sending humans to space make them age slower or faster? Will they be healthier, or will their health suffer? As space exploration progresses, researchers are working to find answers to...
