title: Health in space--and on Earth.
abstract: Because astronauts confront unprecedented hazards, manned space exploration has to proceed gradually and cautiously, each new step being taken with the benefit of what has been learned during earlier stages about bodily requirements. As well as helping to protect the lives of astronauts, however, space medicine is proving to have valuable applications in global health care.
