The reason why astronauts stay for only a few months on the International Space Station (ISS) is because of health. The prolonged weightlessness makes muscles and bones deteriorate. The ISS has special treadmills installed on it to help combat these effects but the bones and muscles still deteriorate. These negative effects are a major issue hindering the feasibility of traveling to Mars and beyond.
