With no possibility of resupply, the first challenge researchers are grappling with is the shelf life of existing pharmaceuticals. Expiration dates on over-the-counter medicines can be as short as 12 months from the date of manufacture, and they can be even shorter in space, says Urquieta. Owing to storage limitations onboard, medicines will likely...
Another strand of pharmaceutical manufacturing — synthetic biology — is the focus of research at TRISH. An emerging discipline, it explores how to modify natural products to create medicines. In other words, it transforms a biological cell into an industrial biofactory. In theory, Urquieta explains, it would enable astronauts to grow natural organi...
“When humans are exposed to the microgravity of space, all body systems are affected,” says Thais Russomano, co-founder and chief executive of InnovaSpace, a global space life science and telehealth consultancy firm. The sudden shift to a microgravity environment leads to space motion sickness in 70% of astronauts in the first 72 hours of a mission...
Experimentation in space is costly and difficult to secure investment for, Santos explains. “It is often difficult for investors to understand just how much space science can contribute to life on Earth.” However, there are many ways in which space and pharmaceuticals on Earth intersect. For example, several tools have been developed to treat cance...
May 29, 2018 · Origins of the space dinosaur. The seeds of the modern “alien dinosaur” were planted in the late 19th century, as the first wave of dinosaur mania swept across North America and Europe.

Apr 15, 2021 · Supermassive black holes can expel jets of material so vast and powerful that they may shape the large-scale structure of the cosmos. It’s hard to say at this point, but a crucial first...
May 11, 2012 · Did aliens clear away dinosaurs so that we might live? Or did some dinosaurs escape extinction somehow? Competing ideas bounce around like ping-pong balls during the whole episode.
