But it turns out that science fiction is slowly becoming science fact. In a groundbreaking experiment aboard the International Space Station (ISS), scientists have achieved artificial gravity, opening up new possibilities for the future of space exploration and human health.The Weighty Problem of WeightlessnessLiving and working in space presents some unique challenges for astronauts. One of the most significant challenges is the absence of gravity, or more accurately, the constant state of weightlessness. While floating in space can be exhilarating, it wreaks havoc on the human body.Personal ExperienceI once had the opportunity to meet an astronaut who had spent several months on the ISS.
