The Artemis 1 mission launched recently, and though it was an uncrewed craft, the aim is to set up a long-term base on the moon, getting humans back there, and eventually even to Mars. So with humans set to spend more time in space than ever, one of the physical aspects to deal with will be gravity, which is pretty important for how our bodies work – even down how our brain functions.
