•Explore the surprising ways microgravity affects mental health, altering sleep patterns, circadian rhythms, and cognitive function in the unique environment of space.
•Understand the critical importance of team dynamics and conflict resolution skills when crews are trapped together for years with no possibility of early return.
•Learn about the cutting-edge coping mechanisms—from mindfulness practices to virtual reality connections with loved ones—that help maintain psychological stability during long-duration missions.
