Space tourists, like astronauts, experience body changes in space. These changes are mostly temporary and return to normal back on Earth.

Scientists studied four space tourists to better understand these changes. They looked at how the body adapts to weightlessness and space radiation.

This research is important because more people are going to space. It helps us prepare for sending humans on longer space missions.

The tourists on the SpaceX flight gave blood and saliva samples. Scientists found changes in their cells and immune systems.

These findings help us understand the effects of space travel on the body. This knowledge can help us find ways to make space travel safer.
