After A Year In Space, Scott Kelly’s Body Is Going Through Something Gruesome
Devastating Effects
Kelly says what happens after month six in space is quite troubling, “On my previous flight to the space station, a mission of 159 days, I lost bone mass, my muscles atrophied, and my blood redistributed itself in my body, which strained and shrank the walls of my heart. More troubling, I experienced problems with my vision, as many other astronauts had.”
What’s more concerning, is the symptoms increase dramatically after the six-month mark.
