Kevin Fong (space medicine expert) addressed this interesting question and added:
At the moment, astronauts that go up to the International Space Station are limited
to spending six months in space at a time because of the effects of microgravity on
the human body. But from March 2015 astronaut Scott Kelly is going to spend a year

Nasa hopes this unique twin study will give us some insight into how we can
counteract the damaging effects of space on our bodies.
