Take one elephant and one man to the top of a tower and
simultaneously drop. Which will hit the ground first? You are a
pilot of a jet fighter performing a high-speed loop. Will you pass
out during the maneuver? How can you simulate being an astronaut
with your feet still firmly placed on planet Earth? In the
aerospace environment, human, animal, and plant physiology differs
significantly from that on Earth, and this book provides reasons
for some of these changes. The challenges encountered by pilots in
their missions can have implications on the health and safety of
not only themselves but others. Knowing the effects of hypergravity
on the human body during high-speed flight led to the development
of human centrifuges. We also need to better understand the
physiological responses of living organisms in space. It is
therefore necessary to simulate weightlessness through the use of
specially adapted equipment, such as clinostats, tilt tables, and
body suspension devices. Each of these ideas, and more, is
addressed in this review of the physical concepts related to space
flights, microgravity, and hypergravity simulations. Basic
theories, such as Newton's law and Einstein's principle are
explained, followed by a look at the biomedical effects of
experiments performed in space life sciences institutes,
universities, and space agencies. Table of Contents: General
