actually the part about calcium depletion in the bones seems to be fairly agreed upon unless some very decent artificial gravity/rotation is available....the musculature makes sense as well. Not sure where the sterility angle comes from.
To: KevinDavis
All the more reason to get Clinton a one way ticket ASAP.

A trip to Mars _could_ do a whole lot of things. However, with propper planning and radiation sheilding, the risks can be greatly minimized.

"Martian flights could render a male astronaut sterile, shrink his musculature and weaken his bones." Some of them are already there:

A Russian scientist says manned Martian flights could render a male astronaut sterile, shrink his musculature and weaken his bonesNot to mention the Martians who would undoubtedly vaporize him with their plasma guns once he stepped 2 inches from his spacecraft, or even worse captured him and placed him on display in a cage at the Martian zoo. That would be a horror show, yes that would be a horror show.
To: KevinDavis
Well it's not like he's going to be picking up any women in port, is it?

The inclusion of "could" is something scientists have basically known for some 30-40 years. It's nothing new around the sun.

I read a very interesting article a few years back on the bone mass loss due to this type of under-stressed condition.
The article stated that some NASA types were studying bears to find out how they could hibernate for months on end and keep virtually 100% of their bone mass. They would wake up in the Spring hungry and ready to kick some ass.

The guy speaks the truth, actually. Doesn't mean we shouldn't go though. Good case for older astronauts..also less cumulative radiation absorption.

That's funny. My little one saw a picture of Kerry the other day and asked "who painted that mans skin orange?".
I said I didn't know but he was trying to be president. The reply to that was "Uh uh! W Bush is president! That ugly orange man cannot be president! Doesn't he know that daddy? Someone needs to tell him!"
I said I was sure a lot of people will tell him that.
