''A nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there"
''Problems such as space motion sickness, redistribution of body fluids, and cardiovascular deconditioning are of concern in short-duration space shuttle flights. The expanded participation of nonastronaut crewmembers or payload specialists in these flights increases the life scientists' interest in the space shuttle flights. Problems such as loss of skeletal mass, decreased red blood cell production, and numerous endocrine changes are of more concern on long-duration flights. The Life Sciences Program is therefore concerned with a wide variety of problems that range from the applied to the basic. The common thread is biology; the context is space.''
