00:00Imagine spending three years in space, away from Earth,

00:03aiming to be one of the first humans to set foot on Mars.

00:07Sounds exciting, right?

00:09But there's one major challenge that nobody talks about.

00:12This is Rosemary Coogan,

00:14a 33-year-old British astronaut selected from over 22,000 applicants in 2022.

00:21After an intense 18-month selection process and a year of basic training,

00:26Rosemary is ready for her first mission to the International Space Station.

00:30But her ultimate goal is to walk on Mars,

00:33a mission expected to take three years.

00:36And with such a long journey, the challenges are immense.

00:40One of the biggest challenges isn't just getting to Mars or landing on it safely.

00:45It's something more fundamental,

00:47keeping astronauts physically and mentally healthy for such a long duration in space.

00:52Unlike missions to the Moon that take a few days,

00:55a trip to Mars will take three years.

00:57Ensuring a sufficient supply of food, water, and medical equipment is crucial.

01:02Handling potential medical emergencies in the isolation of space

01:06is another significant concern.

01:08We already have rovers on Mars, but a human mission is a brand new frontier.

01:14Keeping astronauts physically and psychologically healthy

01:17for three years in a capsule is a huge challenge.

01:20Long-duration space travel can cause muscle loss,

01:23bone density reduction,

01:25and even vision problems due to changes in blood flow.

01:28The psychological strain of isolation and confinement is equally daunting.

01:33NASA astronaut Frank Rubio, who spent three 71 days in space,

01:38experienced significant physical changes.

01:41Readapting to Earth's gravity after such a long time was a challenge.

01:46Despite these challenges, Rosemary Coogan is undeterred.

01:50Her upcoming six-month mission to the International Space Station is just the beginning.

01:55With the goal set for the 2040s, Rosemary and her team

01:59are ready to push the boundaries of human exploration.
