Bernie Sanders doesn’t like Elon Musk. In some ways, I get it. It sucks to see people like Jeff Bezos buying a mega-yacht while there are people without access to clean water, decent shelter, or even regular meals elsewhere in the United States. There’s a big mistake in the man’s thinking, though.
Space travel is an exciting idea, but right now we need to focus on Earth and create a progressive tax system so that children don't go hungry, people are not homeless and all Americans have healthcare. The level of inequality in America is obscene and a threat to our democracy. https://t.co/CbMWYnPFUx

Cognitive problems could result from long space missions in zero gravity
With long space missions a real prospect in the near future, scientists are trying to find novel ways to mitigate the negative impacts of reduced gravity on the human body. A compelling new study led by a team from the University of Pennsylvania is suggesting microgravity can negatively affect cognitive performance, and brief exposures to artificial gravity unfortunately do not mitigate the problem.
Current plans for a crewed return mission to Mars mean it is vital we understand what happens to a human brain when it's subjected to reduced gravity for several years. A growing body of research is indicating extended periods of time in space can cause significant changes to an astronaut's brain.
