Microgravity

I went to the Kennedy Space Center last week. There is a Space Explorers exhibit at the Visitors Center. They have a series of video to illustrate the danger presented by space travel. I was particularly taken aback by the one on the effects of microgravity. Watch closely. They seem to indicate that if you spend too much time in microgravity, you will go all Mola Ram on yourself.



I am surprised you could still do that after losing all the muscle and bone.

The term Mola Ram is new to me, but I've known a few men who seem capable of extracting their heart at will...

Mola Ram is the villain in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom who had a penchant for reaching into someone's chest and ripping out the heart.

Mola Rama Lama Ding Dong.

I've heard of the loss of muscle tone and bone density in space, but what is that heart animation supposed to depict? Your heart shrinks in space and implodes?
