As the venture into space becomes more feasible, we need to consider how our bodies will hold up against the variable conditions of deep space. According to a recent SPACE article, scientists are working on a groundbreaking project to send 3D-printed hearts to the International Space Station in 2027. The program, known as Pulse, aims to study how artificial hearts respond to harsh space radiation, crucial for future human missions into deeper regions of our solar system.
