space biology n.

I'm not expert on space-biology…but I do know that in a couple of days the streets of Praa-Inek will be intolerable.

As new situations develop in science-fiction, as science progresses, new terms must be coined. Thus in 1911 the writer probably was the first to use the words space-flyer, space flying, space sickness, anti-gravitator, and many other words in common use today. Although the vocabulary of modern science-fiction is rich today, it is nothing compared with what it will become during the next 25 years. It is also true that science-fiction authors and scientists launch terms that never should have been used. As an example, one might cite a recent addition: space-medicine. To us, this is an unfortunate term, because medicine implies the curing or mitigation of disease. Space-medicine is constantly being used to investigate man’s reactions to free fall and other phenomena, which have nothing to do with disease per se. In our opinion, the correct term is: space-biology.

A series of experiments with live animals (monkeys, albino mice, black rats) was conducted by the Space Biology Branch of the Holloman Air Development Center, New Mexico, in 1954.

Colonel Lescure, he discovered, was Director of the Plan of Space Biology, for example. A major named Max Lunggren was an astrophysicist.

He is mostly interested in Space Biology.

I’m Tanisha Jackson. I’m a biologist here at NASA Johnson, and I’m here to tell you all those things about space biology that you haven’t quite had the nerve to ask yet. Like, for example, how you go to the bathroom in space.
