A meteorite hit? Old time! These risks are truly life-threatening, ensuring you never heard of them.

The life of the astronauts in space is extremely difficult, even harder than what we often see on screen.

A few days ago, scientists officially confirmed the discovery of gravitational waves - a special wave that can bend space.

This means that people can find ways to shorten the distance to move in space, so conquering the universe will become as easy as eating candy.

Assuming that conquering the universe can be realized, adapting to life on space is extremely difficult. The following article will present some of the most unexpected issues while living in outer space, and solutions to issues that are "equally" equally.

1. The risk of death just because . the nose

A sandwich or a delicious tart steak is an effective way to quickly handle hunger. However, when in outer space, those aromas can "handle" yourself.

The environment in the space is very different from Earth, so the effects of these smells are multiplied.

Not only food and drinks but also items used in daily life also have the potential to harm the lives of astronauts.

The environment in space is very different from Earth. When there is no gravity and no air, poison gas escapes from items and food is very easy to happen.

Moreover, the harmful effects of these smells are multiplied many times in the universe, because it affects the nervous system very quickly.

The belongings of all astronauts who want to bring to space will be through Aldrich's censorship.

Fortunately, at NASA headquarters there is an employee with a very special role: odor assessment expert. These are Mr. George Aldrich, a special man with a nose that is able to distinguish a variety of different odors and identify toxic odors.

The belongings of all astronauts who want to bring to space will be through Aldrich's censorship. If Aldrich smells an odor and toxic gas hidden in an item, the item will immediately be banned from being taken on board to ensure the safety of astronauts' health.

2. Blood will "travel" when surgery

In the "country of the countryside" , people will easily feel embarrassed in their daily life. Therefore, in space, unfortunately, encountering diseases and injuries can happen, even in severe cases, need surgery.

For some diseases, only one operation within the Earth for 1-2 hours is required to resolve the problem. But in space, it will be a big challenge for the medical team to face a problem that they have not and will never meet on Earth: unable to control the patient's blood volume.

Surgery in space is not simple at all.

In a gravity-free environment, the patient's blood may be released from an open wound, then there will be a tour in the room where the surgery takes place.

If doctors cannot control this, the patient will have another problem that is anemia.

The patient will have another problem that is anemia.

Although this has never happened in history, experts from the Pittsburgh Neurosurgery Institute have also taken early precautions.

Doctors will place a force field called the Aqueous Aqueous System (AISS) made up of liquid around the incision, preventing the "disorganized" release of the patient's blood.

Aqueous aqueous system (AISS).

This force field is made up of a saliva-like solution, which keeps the patient's blood under the control of doctors.

After the surgery, the patient's blood flow will be easily returned to the body with the solution. This tool is still in testing and has not yet been officially completed.

3. Eating is not good, but sleeping is not peaceful when in the universe

The space is dark, quiet, it seems to be an impossible place to have the best, most comfortable sleep - but astronauts don't think so.

The Harvard University of Pharmacy, the University of Colorado and Brigham and Women Hospital in the United States conducted a joint study of astronauts sleep. There were 8,000 sleeps that were studied and hardly any sleep longer than 2 hours.

The outer space is not as ideal as many people expect.

The outer space is not as ideal as many people expect. It is true that there is quiet, but that quietness is scary.

The universe always contains many mysteries, an asteroid or even an alien spaceship that can appear right in front of the crew at any time.

Most astronauts do not have any sleep longer than 2 hours.

Besides, the universe is not always dark. Because of flying on a separate orbit, unlike Earth, spacecraft will be exposed to more sunlight. In addition, on some spacecraft with special routes, astronauts will be able to watch the dawn come . 16 times.

The most used solution to be able to sleep in the universe is to use tranquilizers. The drugs chosen by astronauts must always be of a "high capacity" type , so there are also hallucinogenic side effects.

The most used solution to be able to sleep in the universe is to use tranquilizers.

Despite the side effects, astronauts have no other choice if they want to sleep well in such a harsh situation.

They would rather see computers that want to attack them than they can just sleep 2 hours a day on business trips.
