The environment of the International Space Station isn’t exactly hospitable to the human body. In this episode of Space Craft, Loren Grush tries out some of the specialized machines astronauts use to workout in space to stay healthy in microgravity. Subscribe:

hey verge can i come with you.…
Very informative. I really enjoy this serie.
This content is really great! Thanks Loren and the team! Keep it up!
Fascinating fantastic series.. great work!
Amazing series, thank you 🙂
So now the ASTRONAUT is pronounced as ASHNA?
This series should be shown in schools, particularly middle school, when young people are beginning to be aware of a space program. Have students build simple models that account for the science required. Put photos and videos on the school web site so others can see what they are doing. Get students excited and engaged. Sure beats worksheets.
And, as others have said, this series deserves 10 times the number of views.
Research bubbles in space.
2:57 Chains while exercise, like Space Jam 2:57
This is more addictive than Minecraft!
How much did you squat? That machine looks a little flimsy, can it really deliver some serious weight?
Good series! I’m really enjoying it!
Good series.Many things to learn and host is adorable.
aluminum or Aluminium.
Probably a dumb question, but why can’t a small magnetic shield be built in space suits or space vehicles ? As far as I know it takes quite a weak shield to repel the radiation.
1:40 So basically the integrity of the entire ISS as an airtight vessel itself is what determines the pulling force required for these vacuum pistons to be pulled when in space… Because vacuums only work inside pressure. Smart NASA. Very smart.
Terrific episode and series! I now have better knowledge of and appreciation for how earth protects our health: from gravity to its atmosphere.
why not use some simple springs?
can you do a video about the space force? this show is also so amazing and it feels like a tv series.
A human head weighs 5 kg supported by 26 muscles. How do they maintain them?
The production on this video is so well done. Good stuff.
They should do the isometric workout. Can be done anywhere in this universe and is completely irrelevant to gravity
So interesting, wonderful

The squat machine makes sense for concentric motion but zero sense for the eccentric motion. Does it push down against you during that phase of the repetition?
