This book focuses on all of the major problems associated with the absence of body weight in space, by analyzing effects, adaption, and re-adaptation upon returning to Earth, using sound scientific principles embedded in a historical context. Serious problems for space travelers range from Space Motion Sickness (SMS) to recently discovered ocular effects that may permanently impair vision. Fluid loss and shifts, spinal changes, and bone and muscle loss are also all results of weightlessness. Starting with a brief definition and history of weightlessness, the authors then address in detail each problem as well as the countermeasures aimed at alleviating them. In some cases, alternative hypotheses regarding what can and should be attempted are also presented. As plans for long-term missions to the Moon and Mars develop, it will be essential to find countermeasures to weightlessness that are effective for missions that could span years.

This book examines the generally bad effects of weightlessness on the human body, which can include loss of bone and skeletal muscle mass, heart atrophy, immune system dysfunction and neurological problems. A large number of peer reviewed scientific studies are looked at and commented on. Some of the results of these studies have profound implications, which the author is not shy about pointing out. First hand accounts of the effects of weightlessness on a number of astronauts and cosmonauts are described and commented on. Other sources of information, including websites, are looked at if their ideas relating to weightlessness are interesting and seem well supported by facts. The ideas in this book are important to anyone who goes on a long space mission, especially to Mars or a nearby asteroid. Since the effects of weightlessness on the human body are similar to aging, except much faster, the author feels that this subject has relevance to almost everybody. The best known antidote to the effects of weightlessness has been found to be exercise, which is also able to slow down at least some of the effects of aging on Earth.

"The speed and accuracy of positioning movements as functions of distance, direction, and mass were investigated under simulated weightless conditions. Subjects seated on a frictionless device made blind positioning movements by sliding each of two frictionless masses (1000 or 7000 grams) various distances (10, 20, and 40 cm) either left-to-right or near-to-far. Both speed and accuracy decrease with distance; left-to-right movements take longer, but are more accurate than near-to-far movements. Speed decreases with increased mass. With minor exceptions, the effects are similar to those noted when fixed subjects position weightless objects. The responses of fixed subjects were slower, but more accurate, and were not affected by the variable of mass."--Abstract.

This is a popular science book surrounding astronauts’ life on the space station. The book not only highlights the weightlessness experience of astronauts and the extraordinary phenomena they witness, but also illustrates the physics behind these events, which opens a new window for readers to explore the outer space. This book is especially fun for those who are curious about the life details of astronauts on the space station. The book is based on real events, and features images and cartoons that vividly depict unusual scenes between the outer space and the earth. Physical principles become easier to understand with these visual aids. During the reading, readers can immerse themselves in the enjoyable adventure of space travel and the strange feeling of weightlessness while having their doubts of every oddity solved. The book elaborates on the interesting contrast between the space and the earth, and provides readers with a stunning new perspective with easily comprehensible language and examples.
