Life without Gravity

Gravity, what comes up must come down. You may not know it but gravity plays a bigger role in your life than you think. Not only does it keep everything on earth but it also keeps your body pretty functional too.

Throughout time, all species on Earth have evolved in some way. A factor in that evolution is gravity, expecially with land mammals. We have evolved to function with Earths gravity. Gravity affects how we grow and without it weird things start happening.

Without gravity we would be immensely weaker. With less pressure on us our muscles would be much weaker. Bones also wouldn't grow as "correctly" as they do now. All of this would probably lead to shorter lifetimes as well.

Even astronauts today who stay up in space for extended periods of time have minor problems that start appearing. Not as severe as the ones previously mentioned but still. So obviously getting to space is one thing, but this proves that staying there is something else. I would be extremely happy to just go to space so I'm not complaining, its just a concern of mine.
