Let-s say you-re on an interplanetary mission to Mars, millions of miles from the nearest hospital, and something in your body goes awry. Say, a routine body scan reveals a potentially life-threatening blood clot. What on Earth, or in space I guess, do you do? Well now we have the answer to that question

I'm all for space exploration I don't mind tax money of mine going to that but the International Space Station is a huge waste of money it's like astronauts get a vacation up there all they're doing is studying the effects of Zero Gravity on the body the muscles and bones. come on now what how does that even help us on a gravity Earth use arbues my tax money I'm going to Mars or the moon not going up there and having a picnic in the International Space Station growing down flowers and vegetables up there it doesn't make any common sense

Oh, so you treated a DVT with Lovenox and Eliquis. exactly how it would be treated by EVERY primary care doctor in the United States. And people that have limited mobility are at an increased risk of clots just like on earth, you don-t say? THE END. Great video -.
Using medical jargon toward laypeople to convince them something miraculous is going on is not the same thing as quality content. Do better

This may not be a problem. Everything points toward creating a Mars spacecraft to have at least a spinning section, if not an entire spinning ship, to create a centrifugal force that would mimic gravity. None of us can answer why the INTL space station wasn't built with such a section, but until they create artificial gravity via other means, that's our next step.

Very interesting. it does raise yet another question, doesn-t it? While it is fantastic that we need human experiments, flights, orbits, missions to the Moon and Mars to learn more about our human limits.
Question: were humans designed to be in space for extended periods of time? What is the limit?

so the way to fix a blood clot in space is to give them blood thinners until they get back to earth? Lol wow, that's a very efficient new way of fixing a blood clot IN SPACE. just send a billion dollars and bring them back to earth. -unimpressed applause

Why don-t you just store medication on a large exploration such as to Mars so the astronauts can treat themselves and not worry too badly about the potential blood clot or other illness/disease like the coronavirus.

9: 02 he said that the loss of bone density is under control but it doesn't seem so because astronauts still lose bone density and can break bones easily when they are back on Earth.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

8: 15 What is the one thing you can't go to space without? ductape. I just love the fact that at some point an engineer at nasa had to argue for including ductape in the weight budget for a launch: P

Honestly I'm kind of surprised that this wasn't ever looked into more before. Blood clots seem an obvious risk factor to a micro-gravity environment. Have there been any past studies into this at all?

If they are prone to blood clots in space they should all be on EDTA to prevent it along with it's massive amount of other cardio benefits. Should take up little space too like 1-4 capsules a day.
