😍Impressive work as always NASA ...
Are the astronauts able to measure how much radiation they're absorbing while orbiting? I'd imagine it's not at a dangerous level or we'd be hearing about radiation sickness and astronauts returning earlier than planned? Or is that something that's kept private? Or maybe the effects won't show up till they're aging... down the road years from now?🤔
