Trace Elements (formerly Seeker+) is your home for deep dives, fun facts, absurd questions, rabbit holes, and explorations of things you never thought you needed to know.
Today, weβre going to break down the science of humans going to space. We'll cover how we get to space, how astronauts train for it, the dangers of space shuttles, and, of course, the future of space travel!
