Read excerpt
Try and try and try as they may, scientists have yet to explain one of spaceflight’s most painfully enduring mysteries: Why do astronauts get constipated? After examining blood samples from 52 astronauts, they may have found an answer. To learn more about how spaceflight affects digestion, researchers from the University of Copenhagen, working with NASA, tracked blood metabolites – molecules in the bloodstream that can indicate what’s happening inside the body – from astronauts who stayed aboard
