Space flight wreaks havoc on the body, but its effects will have
to be overcome if we are ever to investigate the far reaches of our
solar system. Kevin Fong is co-director of the
Centre for Aviation Space and Extreme Environment Medicine at UCL
and has spent time at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston
investigating the effects of long-term space flight on the human
body. He talks to the Wellcome Trust's Daniel Glaser about the
extreme physiology of space travel.
This packed lunch event was recorded live
on 9 February 2011 at Wellcome Collection.
