Interesting to watch that video and apparently the problem would be greatly increased for anyone intending to walk on Mars at some point in the future, which would be such a long trip there and back in a near weightless environment that they may never be able to safely return to earth with our increased gravity and it's effects on the human body. I read somewhere a while back that prolonged periods in space could even cause blindness because of the way that the internal working of the eye react to low gravity?

Not sure why it took 197 days to have that effect on the poor chap though, I can usually end up walking in the same manner as that astronaut and in less than a day, purely by not knowing when to leave the pub! LOL Laugh
