Experts have found that astronauts who visited the moon are at risk early deaths are significantly higher than those of their colleagues. Currently researchers have so far explained this by the presence of stress among astronauts, and also being outside the Earth’s magnetic field. About it reports the information publication RIA Novosti.
An article with relevant findings is published in the journal. “Aerospace and environmental medicine.” It also says that four astronauts who visited the natural satellite of the Earth, there was a fixed premature mortality. Astronauts Ronald Evans and James Irwin died at the age of 61 and 56 years in connection with a circulatory system disease. Alan Shepard and John Swigert passed away at the age of 74 and 51 due to blood cancer and brain.
Later, the remaining astronauts died (aged 82 to 88 years old): John Young, Eugene Cernan, Neil Armstrong, Richard Gordon, Edward Mitchell and Alan Bean.
Scientists have analyzed the data of 36 astronauts, who further near-Earth orbit did not go, 23 – visited the moon, 27 people – selected, but not going into space, as well as general group 86 members of the astronaut squad.
Earlier it became known that SpaceX plans to ship 4 tourists in low Earth orbit. They will be in space five days at an altitude of about 1000 kilometers. Experts believe that for the flight time, people will receive a dose of radiation that will be equal to permissible for the year among the liquidators of the Chernobyl accident. Therefore not surprisingly, astronauts drifting away from Earth are at greater risk your health.
