50. Would being in space for a long-term stay affect me in any abnormal way? (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

We are currently doing research to look at the long duration effects of spaceflight. There are many areas we are interested in that might be affected, such as radiation exposure, muscle and bone changes, and the psychological impacts that may come from long trips in space. We feel certain that, with the right research, we can find ways to prevent any major problems from occurring.
