... Tsiolkovsky, modern scientists had doubts that plants would be able to successfully grow and reproduce in a zero gravity because their dependence on gravity was considered too great. Early experiments also suggested it was unlikely that plants would...

... the medical consequences of living in space and undertaking flights to deep space and Mars. The initial impact of zero gravity, first experienced by Vostok cosmonaut Herman Titov back in 1961, is called space adaptation syndrome (SAS). This is where...

... movement and intrigue with outer space merged. Adam was inspired to create a technique for juggling in a realistic zero-gravity environment here on Earth. Now, after months of practising and refinement, he is able to perform the kind of juggling one...
... fundamental issues relating to this problem, scientists have to develop zero gravity simulations. The most promising simulations for researching physiological effects of hypo-gravity are immersion (into a liquid environment, with a density similar...
