    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.
