after just two weeks, muscle mass can fall by as much as 20%.

Also, these astronauts are no spring chickens. At ages 50, 49, 47, and 50, their bodies won't recover as quickly as the bodies of younger astronauts might.

Amazing, right?

I was doing pretty good in my 50s, cycling, hiking, etc., but I was still no 35-year-old.

Love that they all walked off like bosses though even though sitting in the chairs would have been easier ☺️
