Abstract

The world we live in is a dangerous place, full of uncertainties that fill us with anxiety and stress. Beyond our world, space is also full of dangers: UV radiation, microgravity, and, potentially the worst of all, being stuck in a small space doing the same thing with the same handful of people for months. Astronauts undergo years of mental and physical training for the chance to go beyond the world as we know it. How do astronauts take care of themselves amidst all these dangers?
