After A Year In Space, Scott Kelly’s Body Is Going Through Something Gruesome
Life-Long Effects
Kelly will suffer life-long health effects from his mission into space, as he will always be at an elevated risk for cancer,”I had been exposed to more than 30 times the radiation of a person on Earth, equivalent to about 10 chest X-rays every day. This exposure would increase my risk of fatal cancer for the rest of my life.”
This was Kelly’s fourth time in space and he had known about the side effects but he said they were nothing like what he was enduring this time around.
