Support for this episode was contributed by the Translational Research Institute for Space Health at Baylor College of Medicine. TRISH is an applied health research catalyst that funds high-impact scientific studies and technologies to keep astronauts healthy during deep space exploration. TRISH is empowered by the NASA Human Research Program, and is a consortium led by Baylor College of Medicine with partners MIT and Caltech. To learn more go here:
In 2021, a crew of civilian astronauts spent three days in Earth orbit. While they were up there, they performed a bevy of experiments. And not only did we learn more about what space travel can do to the human body, we also learned how those effects might vary depending on whether or not you’re a professional astronaut.

Space, when not trying to kill you, makes life incredibly uncomfortable.
Niba is hot!!
5:32 wait, what?! Why does space reactivate latent viruses?
It's weird how we talk about going to Mars as if it were inevitable, but we don't do the same for any other form of hypothetical future technology. No one is like "when we have matter compilers…". I honestly don't think we're going to Mars anytime within the next 200 years, the problems are orders of magnitude more serious and numerous than going to the Moon.
I thought the reason for space motion sickness was because there's no gravity affecting the organ in the ear that's used for stability and such.
You're very likable but also you wobble way, way too much and you need to slow your speaking just a touch.
Why mention Apple Watch and iPad instead of just saying smartwatch and tablet? Totally unnecessary specifics, lowkey product placement actually.
This woman is very smart and entertaining.
Celebrities on a privilege joy ride barely in space are not Astronauts.
This is so much better than katy perry going to space.
1:22 sending people to Mars??? LOLOLOL. Guarantee you that's never happening. Let's see if we can send people to the Moon one more time, then we'll concentrate on a planet that's 140 million miles away. (The moon is 240 thousand miles away… still insanely far away, but a tiny fraction of the same trip to mars)
The plot of Alien but the monster is just an unvaccinated astronaut getting covid or measles and theres only only paper mask
This is the type of research we need more of.
I can't wait until we have artifical gravity and FTL.
yeaaaaaa
wow you just took one of the best of American animation and through it under under a bus… maybe people watching anime or americian animation are not the people you want to shame. seriously did you just do that. I have been a support and share of your channel you choose to bully people that watch animation that is not G.I. Joe or what less then an adult or or someone with kids should watch that care about science fuxk that . shame on you . this is not worth my time.
Her's your chance to go to mars, when you get there; and before you die send back all the info you can! … .. Thanks!
Cool so lets use this information to send Elon to Mars. Yes, the big shiny ball, that's the target.
I think that's a great idea: going to upscale restaurants and asking a server to do the show. 😊 That's especially a good idea if they all turnout to be as beautiful as her. 👍 But honestly they should be allowed to set their napkins aside for the shoot…don't you think?
Space travel doesn't have negative Impacts on the rich and elite class. They have an exoskeleton made of money that protects them and their test results.
NASA is a civilian agency, ffs.
Thank you Niba!
Note: Any further Polaris missions are suspended. Jared Isaacman is the nominee for NASA Administrator and says he'll suspend the Polaris program while he is.
7:00 You totally missed that one of the crew, Haley Arcenaux, is an experienced Physicians Assistant. For those who don't know, PAs go to school for 3 years, taking many of the subjects medical students do. So the "real time guidance by experts" was provided by her. That doesn't add up to simply a minimally trained crew. Similarly, a fair number of NASA missions have had a physician on board. For most things I doubt they need real time guidance by ground experts.
Did she have prior familiarity with every procedure and field covered? Probably not, but PAs and MDs are constantly learning to use new equipment – their background means they do this well. She had months to train for this mission.
4:00 you say that our eyes help us orient ourselves in space, but isnt that the liquid in the ears?
Sure, sure, but how do I apply for a Polaris mission?
