I'd have thought that lots of research on health is going on, indeed the
Dutch chap is doing all sorts of tests is he not?
The worry I suppose would be what happens if a condition occurs that needs
fast treatment back on earth. At the present one assumes this could be done
at the loss of three people on station, but half way to an Asteroid?
I think sooner or later some serious health issue will come up. It has to
by the law of averages.

The same problem could occur anytime during a mission to anywhere.
