51. Will the trip to space affect our lives on Earth? (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

Astronauts and cosmonauts say that the wonderful experience of flying in space changes their lives, and how they view the world, for the better. From a health perspective, we do not yet know if a trip to space will have long term health effects. A short trip of several days will probably have no health effects at all.
