\nWill mankind be able to conquer space travel? Technological advancements could make it possible, but man\u2019s own body may be what\u2019s holding us back. Now, Known Universe examines humans\u2019 space endurance. We\u2019ll experience six G\u2019s in a centrifuge to demonstrate extreme gravitational effects. Study gravity\u2019s effects on seemingly simple human activities in space, from sleeping to sex, and eating to digestion. See how the vacuum of space and its near-zero pressure can kill us within minutes, if not seconds. We\u2019ll look at the ever-present dangers of solar radiation and how this invisible threat may be our biggest obstacle to extended human missions to the planets and beyond.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
