- New research shows the "average" human could survive long-term on an exoplanet with around 3.5 times Earth's gravity. According to the authors, Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson ("The Mountain") could take a few steps on a planet with 4.6 times our gravity. http://www.astronomy.com/news/2018/09/gravity-to-the-max 991 comments space
- The human body may survive a mission to Mars better than our minds. New research studied the psychological impact of long-term spaceflight by testing the creative-thinking and problem-solving skills of 8 crews on fake space missions. The teams only successfully completed 20-60% of their tasks. http://www.astronomy.com/news/2019/02/the-human-body-might-survive-a-mission-to-mars-better-than-our-minds 42 comments science

- Mothers’ care is central factor in animal, human longevity. In species where offspring survival depends on the longer-term presence of the mother, the species tends to evolve longer lives and a slower life pace, which is characterized by how long an animal lives and how often it reproduces https://news.cornell.edu/stories/2024/06/mothers-care-central-factor-animal-human-longevity 10 comments science
