5. Humans in Space
History

6. Before humans monkeys were sent into space:
it was cheaper
to learn the biological effects of space travel
the first monkey astronaut was Albert, who in 1948 rode to over 63 km on a V2 rocket. Albert however, died of suffocation during the flight.
Albert II was sent into space in 1949, he survived the flight but died on impact. His flight reached 134 km’s into the atmosphere. He is credited as being the first monkey in space.

7. A Brief History of Humans in Space
The first human went into space. Yuri Gagarin was launched into space for 15 minutes aboard the Vostok 1.

8. 1969 – The first human landed on the Moon
1969 – The first human landed on the Moon. The spacecraft Apollo 11 touched down on the Moon's surface carrying 3 astronauts onboard: Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and Edwin 'Buzz' Aldrin Jr.
Armstrong and Aldrin became the first humans to land on the Moon, while Collins orbited above.

9. Since then humans have landed on the moon 5 more times.
Apollo 12 (1969)
Apollo 14 (1971)
Apollo 15 (1971)
Apollo 16 (1972)
Apollo 17 (1972)

2. Health and Other Risks
The lack of gravity causes:
fluid redistribution
dehydration – due to increased excretion of urine
muscle deterioration
a weakened heart
loss of bone density
disorientation
weakened immune system
Tunnel vision (pinching of
optic nerve)
Solutions:
Special diets
Exercise
Medication
Space boots

19. Recap and Other Challenges
Space top 5: Effects of space on the human body:
Lack of food, water, & oxygen
we cannot survive without them
Solutions:
bring own supplies
grow plants for food and oxygen
water recycling systems
Psychological Effects
depression and anxiety due to isolation
conflicts due to crowded and tiny living quarters – lack of privacy
insomnia – stressful situation
Solutions:
creating private place for rest and relaxation away from others
exercise
socialization (positive group dynamics)
