Other strange attempts to measure the effect on the body
About such special experiments we reported earlierin which scientists and the enterprising astronauts. One for one of these tests identical pair of astronaut twins the help of NASA was used.

However, the latter still contains more and hitherto unknown health risks, so applying for a dream job promising many thousands of euros think twice.
