5 Hazards of Human Spaceflight
![Hazards](https://www.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/screen_shot_2018-03-21_at_10.09.06_am_1.png?w=1024)
Space Radiation
This hazard of a human mission to Mars is the most difficult to visualize because, well, space radiation is invisible to the human eye. Radiation is not only stealthy, but considered one of the most hazardous aspects of spaceflight.
![Hazards](https://www.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/screen_shot_2018-09-05_at_10.05.20_am.png?w=1024)
Isolation and Confinement
Behavioral responses occur among groups of people isolated and confined in a small space over a long period of time. Crews must be carefully chosen, trained, and supported to ensure they can work effectively as a team for months or years in space.
![Hazards](https://www.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/screen_shot_2018-03-21_at_10.33.40_am_1.png?w=1024)
Distance From Earth
Mars is, on average, 140 million miles from Earth. Rather than a three-day lunar trip, astronauts would be leaving our planet for roughly three years. Planning and self-sufficiency will be key to successful deep space missions.
![Hazards](https://www.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/screen_shot_2018-03-21_at_10.41.33_am_1.png?w=1024)
Gravity Fields
On Mars, astronauts would need to live and work in three-eighths of Earth’s gravitational pull for up to two years. Throughout this time, their bodies – muscles, bones, inner ear, and organs – will be adjusting to new gravitational loads.
![Hazards](https://www.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/screen_shot_2018-03-21_at_11.06.33_am_1.png?w=1024)
Hostile/Closed Environments
A spacecraft is not only a home, it’s also a machine. The ecosystem inside a vehicle plays a big role in everyday astronaut life. Important habitability factors include temperature, pressure, lighting, noise, the presence of microbes, and more.

Immune Response to Flu Vaccine
NASA Human Research Program Twins Study investigator Emmanuel Mignot, M.D., Ph.D, known for discovering the cause of narcolepsy is related to the immune system, is studying twin astronauts Scott and Mark Kelly. He’s investigating how their immune system responds to the seasonal flu vaccine over the course of a year in space and on Earth.

Heart to Heart
NASA didn’t miss a (heart)beat when the opportunity arose to study the cardiovascular systems of identical twin astronauts, one aboard the International Space Station and the other on Earth. Results from the Cardio Ox study may provide a better understanding of cardiovascular disease risk that astronauts encounter during and after long-duration spaceflight.

Fireworks in Space: Gene Expression
“Some of the most exciting things that we’ve seen from looking at gene expression in space is that we really see an explosion, like fireworks taking off, as soon as the human body gets into space,” Twins Study Principal Investigator Chris Mason, Ph.D., of Weill Cornell Medicine, said. "With this study, we’ve seen thousands and thousands of genes change how they are turned on and turned off."
