How It Works
Many of us have dreamed of going to space, but only a few of the best and brightest have actually had the opportunity. An even smaller amount has spent long periods of time there. The experiments and data collected from these pioneers is helping scientists and future astronauts learn more about the effects of long duration missions on the human body. One of these pioneers that have spent significant time in space helping lead the way is Astronaut Michael Foale. A veteran of six space flights, Foale is credited with four space walks totaling almost 23 hours
Johnny Alonso spoke with Dr. Foale to find out what it’s like to live and eat in space.
