Last month, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk made a presentation before the International Astronautical Congress in Adelaide, Australia, a followup to his 2016 talk where he unveiled SpaceX’s Interplanetary Transport System and his ambitions to colonize Mars. This year’s presentation showcased some updates and design changes to his plans and the rocket itself — he wants to put all of SpaceX’s resources into the BFR, and use it to provide long-distance travel around planet Earth. On Saturday evening, Elon Musk hosted an Ask Me Anything session in r/space, where he answered questions about his the ITS, the engines that power it, and more.

When NASA astronaut Scott Kelly stood up last March after spending a year in space, he was two inches taller. Kelly is part of a study NASA is conducting to assess how the human body changes as a result of space travel, using Scott Kelly and his twin brother Mark Kelly as subjects. While Scott spent 340 days aboard the International Space Station, Mark stayed on Earth, giving NASA the rare opportunity to compare two identical sets of DNA - one that has been exposed to the stressors of space, and one that has not.

Scott and Mark have the same genes, but Scott's year in space appears to have strongly affected the way those genes are expressed. "We can observe the entire human biological system responding to space flight," Christopher Mason , a principal investigator on the NASA Twins study and an assoc...
