Due to low gravity, participants in the Martian program may lose the opportunity to have children.
Scientists hope for a prosperous life of man on Mars, it seems crashed about banal physiology. Experts have found that the colonialists who will soon go to the Red Planet are more likely all become barren.
Animal experiments have shown that microgravity on Mars, which will also be experienced by astronauts, disrupts work organs in which sperm are formed. Laboratory rats hung by the hind legs, creating conditions, as much as possible close to living conditions on Mars, and after the experiment, males lost the ability to reproduce. In this case, rats were tested standard attraction to partners, but could not produce functional sperm.
According to scientists, the same fate can expect astronauts, who decided to build a colony on Mars. In this regard, NASA is already invited all prospective participants in the Martian program sperm and egg freezing services to astronauts, returning to Earth, they could have children.
In addition, experts note that in addition to reproductive functions of astronauts, who will conduct in conditions of impaired gravity for a long time, vision may be impaired. However, scientists emphasize that laboratory studies that were conducted on rats are not always applicable to humans, and the Martian mission may It’s not as dangerous as it seems at first glance.
