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.

On February 1, 2003, NASA lost Space Shuttle Columbia (STS-107) and its seven-member crew during atmospheric re-entry. While the immediate cause was damage to the shuttle’s left wing sustained during launch, the ultimate failure unfolded through the unforgiving physics of hypersonic flight and re-entry heating.
