Do you like being poked, prodded, and analyzed? If you said yes, then you may have a future as an astronaut. Astronauts don’t just conduct scientific experiments, they are part of an experiment themselves. Learning about the human factors of spaceflight is an important element to a future trip to Mars.

In this episode of STEM in 30, we explored the effects of space on the humans who travel there. We were joined by NASA astronaut Anna Fisher.

This program is made possible through the generous support of NASA.
