We will focus our future research aboard this station on the long-term effects of space travel on human biology.

Increased access to space will bring challenges for medical experts and scientists alike as they attempt to minimise the side-effects of space travel for the general public while promoting the exhilaration of floating in microgravity.
Most impressively, it has helped construct an orbiting laboratory that offers the prospect of long-term research into the effects of space flight, research that can not just improve the health and safety of our astronauts but also of people on Earth.
He said the shuttle trip -- during which he will be subjected to a battery of tests to determine the physical effects of space on a person of Glenn's age -- should help provide new insights into aging that could help people on Earth.
There are distinct similarities between the effects of lengthy space travel on humans and the effects of ageing on Earth.
Researchers from the University of Sydney have done some advanced crunching of numbers regarding the effects of FTL space travel via Alcubierre drive, taking into consideration the many types of cosmic particles that would be encountered along the way.
This exhibition illustrates the use of Earth observation from space to assess the effects of climate change on famous World Heritage sites.
The 128GB iPad is an attractive product for a number of iPad users, but I suspect that the knock-on effects in the rest of the tablet space are a very nice bonus for Tim Cook and his team at Apple.
FORBES: Apple's 128GB iPad Just Gave Every Android Tablet Manufacturer A Headache
Nasa wants to gather more medical and psychological data on the effects of long periods spent in space as it prepares for such missions.

One reason the original "TRON" was greeted with so much hostility is that it seemed, in its cheesy synthesized way, to represent a brave new world not just of digital outer space, but of movies consumed by their own effects.
The details do not matter, except to say that this is precisely the sort of experiment that might be carried out in space, in order to eliminate the distorting effects of gravity.
For this jump, the team also worked to create a new generation of space suit for better mobility and visual clarity, studied the effects on the human body of supersonic acceleration and deceleration, developed a new parachute system, and more.
The animals are helping scientists understand the effects of weightlessness and high radiation levels experienced in space.
Depending on the effects of Tropical Storm Ernesto on Florida's Kennedy Space Center, a new launch date for Atlantis could be set once storm damage is evaluated and work resumes at the launch pad.

Mr. STEVENSON: No slogans, no video effects, no voiceovers, and lots of clean, white space.
And we have much to learn about their long-term effects before human crews can venture through the vast voids of space for months at a time.

This "space weather" can have a number of effects on modern infrastructure, from glitching electronics in orbiting spacecraft to increasing the interference heard on radio broadcasts such as those from the BBC.
But a solar storm has the potential to disrupt the shielding effect, and severe space weather can have harmful effects on a wide array of technological systems, including satellite operations, communications, navigation and electric power grids.
MSN: Solar storms sparked by giant 'magnetic rope,' study finds
They have found a number of places, both in the night sky and in the laboratory, where the nature of space and time at the Planck scale would have indirect, but observable effects.
His music incorporates themes of space travel, technology and the cosmos that shapes the form and the sensory effects.
The basic concept is the same as that underpinning the "white roads" idea -- the development of a technology that can reflect a proportion of the sun's radiation away from the earth's surface and back out into space, thereby cooling the atmosphere and slowing, or even reversing the damaging effects of global climate change.

Other techniques aim to enhance marine cloud reflectivity by introducing sea salt aerosols in low clouds, mimic the effects of volcanic eruptions by injecting sulphate aerosols into the lower stratosphere, or place shields or deflectors in space to reduce the amount of incoming solar radiation.
Some of those illusions include "focus, " which displays special effects around the images, "segmented focus, " to extend the display to portions of the living space (requiring extra material to be generated), and "appearance, " changing the look of your room by giving it a cartoon appearance, for instance.
