Sunil, my friend, zero gravity is bad news for the human body,
and 'simulators' on earth not come close. But more, outside the
magnetosphere, radiation is the real problem that no amount of
'simulation' can contend with. Cellular damage is inevitable without
a protective shield we have yet to develop, against the radiation
that permeates outer space. We also have to develop a gravity
technology that balances out the loss of gravity as we move further
from the earth, one that will keep our feet on the ground 'so to speak'.
Sunil, the effects due to zero gravity are cumulative on the body,
relative to ground level. Calcium in the bone is compromised along
with many other disorders.
We have solved many problems in our exploration of our deep oceans.
We will find a way in space.
