"The method we've developed to measure and assess ocular health as the potential to identify astronauts at risk of developing SANS symptoms that can negatively impact both their health and their mission's chances of success," said Costantino. Since symptoms get worse the longer astronauts stay in space, this could be a major problem for planned three-year missions to Mars.

In 2015, a non-invasive technology for measuring ocular rigidity was invented by a team of CRHMR researchers including Costantino and Mark Lesk, an UdeM ophthalmologist and director of CRHMR's Pathophysiological Mechanisms of Glaucoma Research Unit. The scientists applied the technology clinically on nearly 400 glaucoma patients. Their method involves measuring the volume of blood that enters the eye with every heartbeat.

CES in the 2020s? Expect VR, wearables, 5G, and maybe even space travel | Inverse
T he Consumer Electronics Show is entering its seventh decade of existence, and it's about to chart a bold new course in technological history — more mobile, more smart, and altogether a lot less visible.
The Las Vegas-based show has cemented itself as one of the most vital dates in the industry's annual calendar. Spanning over 2.9 million square feet, the show plays host to more than 4,500 companies.
As tech reporters descend onto the Las Vegas Convention Center, their filings paint a picture of where the industry is at. While some of these visions turn out woefully misguided in hindsight — remember 3D TVs? — a number of them capture the growth of emergent technologies, as they break out from their lab-based beginnings and flourish in the real world.
Space travel can make the gut leaky - Astrobiology Magazine
Bacteria, fungi, and viruses can enter our gut through the food we eat. Fortunately, the epithelial cells that line our intestines serve as a robust barrier to prevent these microorganisms from invading the rest of our bodies.
A research team led by a biomedical scientist at the University of California, Riverside, has found that simulated microgravity, such as that encountered in spaceflight, disrupts the functioning of the epithelial barrier even after removal from the microgravity environment.

Universities must break interdisciplinary boundaries to help advance space-based technologies
To ensure that our species endures, we must advance space-based technologies, Tuija Pulkkinen and Anthony Waas write, and that will require us to break our interdisciplinary boundaries.
Space research and space exploration are vital to the future of humankind. The Earth may be resilient -- it's still here long after the dinosaurs, and it shows no scars from the Carrington solar storm that fried telegraph lines in 1859. But society on this planet is facing some unprecedented challenges.
When will the first hotel be built in space?
If your own answers to the above two questions are a disgruntled sigh, a bored shrug, and a swift return to day-dreaming about whether it's too soon to be booking a summer holiday in Greece ( it's not ), then you probably don't need to read too much further. But if you have ever gazed at darker parts of the sky with a desire not just to go there, but to hang around for a while once you've arrived, then recent "developments" may be of note.
