Gymnastronautics hypothesizes whether:
-
Double leg circles (short term)
-
Motor Bar Giants (long term),
-
and Lunar Trampolines (longer term)
Can address the following risks of NASA Human Research Roadmap:
1. Risk of Bone Fracture due to Spaceflight-Induced Changes to Bone
2. Risk of Renal Stone Formation
3. Risk of Incompatible Vehicle/Habitat Design
4. Risk of Injury and Compromised Performance Due to EVA Operations
5. Risk of Decompression Sickness
6. Concern of Intervertebral Disc Damage upon and Immediately After Re-exposure to Gravity
7. Risk of Early Onset Osteoporosis Due to Spaceflight
8. Risk of Adverse Cognitive or Behavioral Conditions & Psychiatric Disorders
9. Risk of Impaired Performance Due to Reduced Muscle Mass, Strength, & Endurance
10. Risk of Reduced Physical Performance Capabilities Due to Reduced Aerobic Capacity
11. Risk of Orthostatic Intolerance During Re-exposure to Gravity
12. Risk of Spaceflight Associated Neuro-ocular Syndrome (SANS)
13. Risk of Cardiac Rhythm Problems
Of course, safeguards will need to be implemented, but it would be a flippin’ good time
