- Six months in space leads to a decade's worth of long-term bone loss. During space missions lasting six months or longer, astronauts can experience bone loss equivalent to two decades of aging. A year of recovery in Earth’s gravity rebuilds about half of that lost bone strength, researchers report. https://www.sciencenews.org/article/space-bone-loss-density-astronaut-recovery-gravity 810 comments space
