Don't forget hypogravity - Mars G is one-third Earth G, neither human body nor organisms on which we depend are adapted to Mars G. NASA life science folks I've interviewed point to hypogravity as the showstopper. Rad can be shielded but on planet we can't boost G.

One of a host of biomedical problems of spaceflight. The one I like is hypogravity - we have no idea how the human body will cope with long stays in Moon and Mars G. In some ways it could be worse than zero G - for example, if bones continue to weaken in hypo G, breaks from falls become possible.

I repeated hypogravity there - meant to type isolation (psych effects)

Could be that gravity only a little less than Earth G would be the biggest attraction - we know so little about human health in hypogravity.

hypogravity, hypogravity, unknown unknowns (ex: effects of chemically reactive ever-present Mars dust on human skin & lungs), risk of failures & health emergencies millions of kilometers and hundreds of days from the nearest help, radiation risk to people outside the habitat, synergies of all these

If Musk were serious he'd help build our space future by doing spadework needed before we can make plans to live anywhere beyond Earth. A variable-G space station for hypogravity research, sample return so we can determine Mars dust toxicity, etc, etc, etc.
But he's not serious about anything.

Ultimately hypogravity is the bigger problem - can shield against radiation (within reason) but can't make useful gravity, only acceleration, and creating acceleration generates lots of engineering problems (and tough to do planet surfaces). Going faster to limit exposure helps (but not on planets)

His fans could serve as hypogravity research lab rats on board "Musk Station." It'd be an opportunity for thousands of people to contribute to our future in space. It'd certainly clue a lot of folks into the realities of spaceflight.

Yes - and do research into hypogravity effects on humans and organisms they need to live. If Musk announced he planned to build a partial-G space station, I'd take him a little more seriously.

The biggest problem in terms of long-term sruvival is the one everyone seems to miss - hypogravity. We have no data on long-term survival in 0.4 G. NASA biomedical people I interviewed all said they thought it was THE showstopper. Radiation - go underground. But you can't "turn up the gravity."

That's right, though we know what to do to reduce radiation exposure, so I think hypogravity (any G below 1) is the real showstopper - especially on other worlds. We don't have gravity generators. Even if you buried your Mars colony a km down you'd still have to confront the effects of 0.3 G. /1

Go underground to thwart radiation, thicken atmosphere (it would take many millenia), or use artificial magnetic field. Problem is hypogravity - we have no data on long-term effects on humans of 0.4 G. We can't increase Mars' G pull. We need research before we can sensibly talk about living on Mars.

## Hyper-Precise Bone Density Loss Prediction & Countermeasure Optimization in Deep-Space Hypogravity Environments via Multi-Modal Temporal Sequence Analysis
**Abstract:** Prolonged exposure to reduced gravity environments, a defining characteristic of deep-space habitation, presents significant risks to human skeletal health. This paper introduces a novel, immediately deployable framework for hyper-precise prediction of bone density loss (BDL) and personalized countermeasures optimization in astronauts during extended missions. Leveraging established temporal sequence analysis techniques, coupled with a multi-modal data ingestion and normalization layer, this system achieves unprecedented accuracy in BDL forecasting and dynamically adjusts countermeasures (e.g., resistive exercise protocols, pharmaceutical interventions) to mitigate adverse effects.

there's one person doing more research on it-don't know what she's up to now as i m not using X at the moment. but hypogravity does have promise. think of it the way when body gets something of what's missing, it ends up aligning to what it does normally. zero g is something u just can't do normal
