Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Scott Kelly: I can spend another year in space
How does this sound to you? You’re paid well for a year, fed nutritious
food, provided free rent, Internet connection, 24/7 medical and biological
monitor service. What’s more, you can enjoy astonishing view that nowhere on
earth offers all the time. No labor work to lift or carry heavy things at all.
Interested? OK. But here are some drawbacks. The space is totally
isolated and shielded from outside, food is neither fresh nor cooked but
preserved, the roommates are just a few, and furthermore, no gravity.
Yes, this is what an American astronaut experienced in the
International Space Station with a Russian mate. He is now thoroughly examined by
medical and physical experts for some time to study how human body, brain and
mind are affected in an isolated zero-gravity space.
Why do they do this sort of costly experiment?
Enjoy reading and learning what the life in and view from space is
like.
