CHAPTER ONE
STAYING HEALTHY IN A DEADLY PLACE
Imagine being part of an astronaut crew in the middle of a mission to Mars. You will be gone from Earth for at least three years. You and your fellow crewmates must stay healthy to do your research. Your camper-sized spacecraft is all that protects you from the harsh environment of space. Your day begins with exercise. One astronaut rides a stationary bike. You go for a run on a treadmill.
Various activities help keep astronauts mentally healthy. You check on the vegetables you are growing.
