NASA astronauts talk space life challenges, data collection

Yahoo Finance's "Space Race: Investing in the Final Frontier" series continues with an interview with NASA Astronauts Jeanette Epps and Tracy Dyson. The two space explorers join Wealth! to share their experiences in space.
Dyson describes their mission as ongoing, stressing that the primary objective is to learn how to live, work, and explore in space while gathering crucial data for future expeditions. She explains that these are long-duration missions, typically lasting six months or more for each astronaut.
Addressing the challenges of zero gravity, Epps notes, "It's hard to get used to." Astronauts must adapt to floating bodies and using minimal force to navigate, allowing "life without gravity to take place." As space tourism gains traction, Dyson cautions potential civilian space travelers: "The space environment and microgravity are very challenging."
While both astronauts acknowledge the fun aspects of space travel, they emphasize that scientific research remains the core focus of their explorations. Their primary goal is to collect valuable data that can enhance life on Earth.
