Humans in Space
From the physiological toll of long-duration missions to the voices guiding astronauts safely home, this is where SpaceInfo Club tracks what it actually takes for people to live and work beyond Earth. Coverage spans crewed missions like Artemis, the science of space radiation, and the training, medicine and mission-control expertise that keep astronauts alive.
Reporting draws on conversations with the scientists and mission specialists behind that expertise, including astrophysicist Dr Francesca Faedi (University of Leicester, Orbital Innovation Ltd.), who studies the effects of space radiation on the human body. See the full list of astronomers and mission scientists we’ve spoken with.

Artemis III will no longer be remembered as the mission that landed astronauts on the Moon. Instead, it may become known as the mission that validated the commercial ecosystem that makes sustained lunar exploration possible.

Its success will determine how quickly humanity returns to the Moon, establishes a permanent presence there, and ultimately begins the journey toward Mars. In that sense, Artemis III may be remembered not simply as another mission in the Artemis program, but as the mission that transformed humanity from occasional visitors to permanent explorers of deep space.

Unlike previous Artemis missions, Artemis III is designed to validate key technologies, spacecraft systems, and operational procedures that will enable sustained lunar exploration in the years ahead. The mission will involve the Orion spacecraft and commercial lunar lander systems developed by SpaceX and Blue Origin, testing the complex architecture that future lunar crews will depend upon.

The excitement around Mars is understandable. But the real frontier lies in this interaction between constant external forces and adaptable internal systems. Radiation does not stop. Sleep does not change that. Hibernation might — not by reducing exposure, but by altering the tempo of life itself.

Sleep is one of the most biologically active phases of our day. It’s when the body carries out critical processes such as tissue repair, immune regulation, and hormone release.

When NASA’s Artemis II roared into history this April, it marked far more than a return to crewed lunar exploration. Behind the astronauts traveling farther into space than any humans in over half a century stood a familiar voice—one that space enthusiasts in Leicester already knew well.
