Mia- i kept the group on task, and we successfully finished the project
Elise- I helped incorporate the class things (photo, resp etc)
Kenzie- I kept asking questions for the project

# data[].attributes.body
Kenzie- helped with the design of the video
Elise- researched ideas
Mia- made the video and looked up pictures, I also made the group stay on class and kept reminding them of questions

# data[].attributes.body
Kenzie- researched the percent of how many people have skin cancer & how many astronauts have skin cancer

# data[].attributes.body
Elise~ (26)I found some interesting sources and did research on the effect space has on the human body (27) Researched on which plants absorb radiation and studied an astronaut suit diagram to get an idea on how we plan to make the our plant suit
Mia~ I questioned and
Kenzie~ I researched if astronauts age faster or slower than people on Earth

# data[].attributes.body
1. Cancer problems in space
2. What goes into space
3. How much does it cost for the space program
4. How can plants be included into the space Program
5. What are the  suits made out of
6. How are plants included already in the program
Photosynthesis works by the plant absorbing water, sunlight, and carbon dioxide and it then produces oxygen and glucose/food for plant
Respiration works by taking in the carbon dioxide and then using the glucose to make ATP
Carbon cycle is constantly moving and the atoms cannot be destroyed or created and also it cannot form into other compounds but it can form to other molecules to make elements

In July 1969 the world watched as two men set foot on the Moon. For the first time, humanity had ventured out of the planet we call home and touched the possibility of worlds beyond.

But our space travel ambitions seem to have stalled since the 1970s and 1980s. In over 30 years, we've ventured virtually no further than the original pioneers. And as more astronauts have spent more time aboard the various space stations, they have reported worrying health problems.

As recent tragic events have shown, the most dangerous part of any space journey is take off. Trying to reach the speeds needed to escape Earth's gravity is fraught with peril. But even once they reach space, astronauts are not out of danger. Instead they are exposed to a new set of risks which we are only just beginning to understand.

In Earth's orbit, astronauts might experience temperatures as low as -129C (-200F) and as high as 121C (250F). Spacesuits have been cleverly designed to protect us from these extreme conditions. They also provide air pressure to prevent our bodily fluids from boiling in the hard vacuum of space. But astronauts can only travel so far in the spacesuits that exist today. Even our best suits are limited to a 'low-Earth orbit'. To push farther into the Solar System we will need a new suit - one that will shield us from the lethal hazards of deep space. But even then, are we sturdy enough to survive a long mission? (Image courtesy of ILC Dover, LP.)

A spacesuit may protect us externally, but space can have devastating effects on the internal workings of the human body.

On Earth, we have evolved to work in harness with gravity. Our muscles and bones have developed to expect this force and it's needed to keep them strong and healthy. In space, astronauts float weightlessly. This looks like a lot of fun, but prolonged exposure to a microgravity environment can have insidious effects on the human body.

Space travel plays havoc with our blood circulation. Human cardiovascular systems are designed to pump blood steadily around the body against the force of gravity, which normally pulls blood towards our feet. But in the microgravity of space, blood moves up to the chest and head, giving astronauts puffy faces and raised blood pressure.

Muscles are also threatened by space travel. Without the need to work against gravity, muscles can start to waste, which increases the risk of tendonitis and fat accumulation.

The lack of gravity even makes astronauts stand up to two inches taller, as back vertebrae separate without the compression of gravity, leading to painful back-aches.

Over the long term, astronauts suffer the devastating consequences of bone loss. Microgravity causes the body to lose calcium and phosphorous, leading to a gradual weakening of bone and an increased risk of osteoporosis. Bone loss can be as high as 1.5% of its mass per month, that's roughly 10% over a six-month stay in space, with the recovery after returning to Earth taking at least three to four years. In an attempt to combat this, astronauts living on the ISS must carry out 2.5 hours of exercise a day, six times a week.

Radiation's biological effect is measured in mSv, the millisievert. No matter where you live on Earth you receive a small dose of radiation each day, but an astronaut living on the International Space Station is exposed to over 80 times that amount. Head further into space and that figure rises to a deadly degree.

Eugene Cernan discovered that air makes a poor spacesuit coolant. He lost several pounds from dehydration during his 1966 spacewalk. Suits are now water-cooled.

Mir space station had 234 microbial species thriving on board, leading to infections. Astronauts now follow strict hygiene rules and sample the cabin for bugs.

Preventing space sickness

In 1985 Jake Garn suffered the highest level of space sickness recorded. Now astronauts take motion sickness medicine as choking on their vomit could be fatal.

Why has human space exploration got little further than the Moon? Dara O'Briain investigates what makes space travel so hazardous to health.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Making a plant based gas to be used in the spaceships
2. Astronauts experiencing harmful radiation, getting cancer
3. Space adaptation syndrome

# data[].attributes.body
*Keep radiation-absorbing plants in spaceships with astronauts to reduce their risk of cancer
*Offer ginger infused foods/supplements because it is know to take away naseau and other symptoms that astronauts experience while adapting to the new environment

# data[].attributes.body
-plant based suit that converts sunlight into oxygen so that you wouldn’t have to bring oxygen tanks up in space and that the radiation would be absorbed by the plants instead of human skin for cancer
-making a dome city out of plant based materials that absorb the sunlight, and provide the people oxygen not giving them cancer
