they dont lose bones you fool! where would they go? what, do they flush them out their space toilets?
In space, the lack of gravity-induced pressure on your bones leads to decreased bone density because your body does not need to support its weight in the same way as it does on Earth. As a result, astronauts in space experience bone loss due to reduced mechanical stress on their bones, which can lead to weakened bones and an increased risk of fractures.
In space, astronauts experience microgravity, which leads to a decrease in bone density due to reduced mechanical stress on the skeletal system. This phenomenon is known as spaceflight osteopenia, where bones lose calcium and other minerals, making them weaker and more susceptible to fractures. Research indicates that astronauts can lose about 1% to 2% of their bone mass per month while in space. To mitigate this effect, astronauts engage in regular strength and resistance training during their missions.
You do not really 'lose' bones but some fuse together. Particularly the bones in the cranium.
No, astronauts do not lose their memory when they are weightless in space. However, some astronauts may experience temporary cognitive changes due to factors such as radiation exposure, sleep deprivation, or stress, which could affect their memory.
What happens to your bones when you are weightless, is that your bones will get weaker and weaker. That is why everyday, astronauts, have to spend two hours on a treadmill everyday of there space expedition.

Astronauts experience bone weakness in space due to the lack of gravity pulling on their bones, which leads to decreased bone density and strength. The reduced mechanical stress on bones in microgravity causes the body to lose calcium and minerals, resulting in bone demineralization. This condition is known as spaceflight osteopenia and can lead to a higher risk of fractures both during and after the mission.
In space, bones can weaken and lose density due to the lack of gravity, which reduces the need for the body to support itself against Earth's pull. This can lead to osteoporosis-like symptoms and increased risk of fractures. Men and women tend to lose bone density at similar rates in space.
No, you actually lose bones. These bones join together during childhood years.
Astronauts can survive in space for a limited amount of time without protection due to the lack of oxygen and extreme temperatures. In the vacuum of space, they would quickly lose consciousness due to lack of oxygen, but the exact time frame can vary based on the individual. With the appropriate gear and protection, such as a spacesuit or spacecraft, astronauts can survive for extended periods of time in space.
I don't think that they do. However astronauts skeleton's do tend to lose some of their calcium while in space. This is because the lack of gravity means that the skeleton is not stressed. To try and prevent this calcium loss astronauts try and exercise hard (to stress the bones) if they are in space for a long period.
Because they lose calcium.
