Alternatively, we have the shorter title Applying B forces to learn about g forces. Our work focusses on how gravity interacts with and affects life. This question is of practical and fundamental interest. The answers will impact our ability to perform deep space exploration. It is well known that the physiology of astronauts degrades, perhaps due to the lack o f gravity, during space travel. In particular, they lose bone mass. The mechanism driving this loss is not known and has not found a complete remedy.
