If we're going to go beyond the Moon, we'll need food, a way to build stuff, and health diagnostic technology
Aside from nutrition, there's an experimental headset known as Falcon Goggles being brought to the ISS to help scientists develop methods to combat space motion sickness by using the headset to capture high-speed video of a subject's eyes.
"These goggles could better inform our researchers of the impacts of microgravity on crew members and their ability to adapt and work in new gravities," said NASA Human Research Program Deputy Flight Scientist Dr Cherie Oubre.If you remove Earth's gravity from the equation, you can build some truly bizarre structures.
To test their ability to build gravity-defying structures, NASA is sending extrusion technology to the ISS that will use liquid resin"to create shapes and forms that cannot be created on Earth."The hope is that the technology will eventually be usable to build space stations, solar arrays and equipment that can be altered to suit the gravitational environment of their locality.
