    "Our study shows that upon arriving in space, more red blood cells are destroyed, and this continues for the entire duration of the astronaut's mission," said Dr Guy Trudel, lead researcher and hospital physician.

    That's why I stay here on Earth and f*** space!

    Beat me to it, but this is no surprise given the radiation.

    It's more likely related to the absence of gravity than to the higher
    radiation levels.

    So, if we go to a planet with more gravity, means we get more red blood cells?

    Who knows? But we evolved in gravity, and it's hardly surprising that
    low gravity would have significant impact on most of our bodily
    systems.

    That's why, I don't think space is made for us, at least not for the long haul? Has to be significant breakthrough in technology of living in space has to be for us to become star riders!

    If we find some reason to spend a lot of time in space in the near
    future, we can create spin gravity. If in the distant future we choose
    to live in a low gravity environment, I'm sure we'll have the ability
    to modify ourselves.

    While I'm skeptical that our current civilizations are going to
    survive more than another decade or two, which will largely put an end
    to space exploration and high technology for a long time, if we do
    make it past the current crises I expect physical and genetic
    modification of ourselves will be common and routine.

    Kind of too soon, 100-200 years most likely, if we have this growth type of economy and use up, destroying resources at this rate!

    World population 7.8 billion, if 7 billion would die tomorrow, .8 billion survive.
    In 1900 , 120 years ago world population was 1 billion.
    Just showing how bad world population is!

    Hey! That's true. A radiation does often results in increased red blood cell production. It gives people who've been zapped an initial feeling of well-being, until the other side effects begin...

    I remember Chernobyl, the first man arrived and pushed the radioactive graphite back to the rector had the highest doze of radiation.
    He received 3 bone narrow surgery, then died later in blood cancer .
    He was named the hero of Soviet Union!
