Advancements in Mitigating Space Travel's Risks to Human Body

As space travel becomes more common, scientists are working to mitigate the health hazards that come with it. One major risk is space radiation, which can harm the nervous and cardiovascular systems, as well as the blood-brain barrier. To address this, NASA is developing technology to shield astronauts on future Mars missions, including using deflecting materials in space vehicles and spacesuits. Certain diets and supplements, such as enterade, may also help minimize the effects of radiation exposure.
