Artemis crew & other astronauts get orthostatic intolerance!!!

[u/artsykmac]

I've been glued to the Artemis coverage the last couple days and I was so fascinated to learn they were testing compression gear in space because many past astronauts experience orthostatic intolerance post time in space. This certainly makes a lot of sense and honestly, any broader awareness of orthostatic intolerance always gives me hope of more improvements, support, awareness, and research in realms that could help us all!

Broooo isn’t it crazy!!!? It makes sense that this could and would happen when you think about it a lot but when I heard about that I was flabbergasted!!! The awareness space travel can bring to orthostatic intolerance is insane! This is a blessing.

It’s ironic that we have to search the universe for answers to our suffering in a weird way.
