I’m pretty sure they are doing some studies into immune systems in space, stress/sleep/cognition of astronauts and all that. From what I’ve read in the papers they will be taking regular saliva samples in preparation to do a lunar south pole mission… where they are worried about radiation? I dunno the specifics this is arm chair science on my part. I’m sure that one day when we finally send a man to uranus they can sample his saliva and figure out what’s going on down there if you know what I mean.
How the fuck do you get that? We already have studies from the ISS which investigate the role of gravity in bacteriophage infections, which may be used to develop advanced anti-bacterial drugs
But SaveTheTuaHawk knows better than all those microbiologists don’t they
What scientific benefits will this mission bring?
It’s mostly about testing the vessel used, for future actually useful missions.
There are some things they’re doing, but it’s scientifically not very much they couldn’t do with probes.

none of that relevant to disease on earth.
