Abstract:As the global population ages, there is increased interest in living longer and improving one's quality of life in later years. However, studying aging -the decline in body function -is expensive and time-consuming. And despite research success to make model organisms live longer, there still aren't really any feasible solutions for delaying aging in humans. With space travel, scientists couldn't know what it would take to get to the moon. They had to extrapolate from theory and shorter-range tests. Perhaps wi… Show more
