Medicine in Space: Taking What We Know, To Places We Don't

Abstract

When was the last time you were faced with a problem that no one in the history of humankind has ever been able to define a clear solution? As humans venture further and further into space, we begin to encounter more and more challenges, with increasing levels of complexity. Just as the early explorers ventured past the horizon, we now attempt a similar adventure by reaching deeper and deeper into space. While there may be a myriad of unknown problems waiting ahead of us, we are called upon as professionals to solve the ones immediately ahead of us.
