Abstract
NASA's space exploration initiative envisions a return to the moon by 2020, the construction of inhabited lunar bases and manned missions to Mars. Such an ambitious program harbours increased risks, both logistical and physical (particularly that of trauma) within the context of a microgravity environment. This paper also discusses the cellular response to microgravity and the potential scientific and technological benefits of Space exploration.
