The beds are tilted to allow the blood to flow away from the legs (Credit: European Space Agency)

Exposure to microgravity can wreak havoc on the human body. Hence, before astronauts can embark on the long trip to the Moon or Mars, scientists need to find ways to mitigate the physical impacts of space travel.

    I can't believe that is happening. At least they are getting paid a bunch though. Imagine it actually works. I hope they are fine afterwards, because two months is a long time to be bedridden.

              Honestly, if I was in the experiment I would go insane in just a couple of days. These people have superhuman resistance.
