Help with space project, i will do best answer:)?

Question

hey, I'm doing a poster for my science class and it is on conditions in space. So far, I have increased gravitational force, extreme temperatures (both hot an cold), weightlessness, and exposure to UV rays. Are there any others you can think of? Also, I am suppose to explain how we have learned to cope with these conditions. So far on that I only have how they have learned to cope with conditions for 3 topics, the temperature, UV rays, and coping with weightlessness.

Are there any other conditions in space that affect astronauts? Also, how have they learned to cope with them?

:)

Thanks!

So, what do you do with your dirty underwear when you’re orbiting the Earth and don’t have a washing machine? Here are four choices.
