Effects of Long Term Space Flight
The topic of my Sci-fi paper is going to be about the
creation of a colony on mars in the future that utilizes water on
mars and fusion reactions for energy that are powered by the mining
of helium on the moon. The three definitions that I will include
about space propulsion and orbital mechanics are the effect of long
term space flight, antimatter, and space elevators. The three
definitions that I will include about sun and space weather are
aurora, solar wind, and the magnetosphere. The three definitions
that I will include about planetary characteristics are the
atmosphere of
Mars, the
atmosphere of Saturn, and the composition of the moon.
Humans have always been driven to explore the unknown and
venture into the newest frontier. In this age of unparalleled
scientific progress, the newest frontier which we explore has
become the space beyond our atmosphere. Just as North America was
pursued by western explorers several hundred years ago for its
potential resources and promise of freedom, so is space being
explored today. As the earths environmental conditions continue to
dwindle, finding a way for humans to survive in space may prove

During space
travel, there is no significant gravitational force to load the
body such as there is on
earth. When there
is no force constantly acting on a person, having a strong skeletal
system is less necessary and during flight a persons body will
adapt to this. Space travel leads to significant bone loss. Bones
will release calcium which weakens bones and causes other problems
related to calcium deposits such as kidney stones. A persons bones
are prone to fractures both during and after the mission. Without
the load of gravity, the spine becomes elongated which causes
significant back pain, and can can cause intervertebral discs to
become misaligned
