AN EXPERIMENT FROM UC SAN DIEGO'S SANFORD STEM CELL INSTITUTE WAS ONE OF THE PROJECTS HITCHING A RIDE.

THE PURPOSE OF THE EXPERIMENT, TO LEARN HOW HUMAN CELLS AGE AND THE STRESSFUL ENVIRONMENT OF ZERO GRAVITY.

IN 2012, A YEAR-LONG RESIDENCE ABOARD THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION CAUSED ASTRONAUT SCOTT KELLY TO HAVE AGING IN HIS BLOOD CELLS THAT'S NORMALLY SEEN ONLY AFTER 10 YEARS.

KATRINA JAMISON IS THE DIRECTOR OF THE INSTITUTE AND SHE SAYS KELLY'S EXPERIENCE AND THE INSTITUTES EARLIER TESTS IN OUTER SPACE SHOWS THAT ZERO GRAVITY FORCED SOME CELLS TO WORK A LOT HARDER.

IT MAY LEAD TO THERAPIES FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE EARTHBOUND.

>> BECAUSE WE SEE THESE AGING AFFECTS SO QUICKLY, IT STARTS TO MAKE US THINK, WAIT A MINUTE, MAYBE SOME OF THE AGING WE SEE ON EARTH IS PARTLY PRODUCTIVE ON THE VENTILATORY MAYBE WE CAN TURN BACK THE CLOCK ON AGING ITSELF BY HAVING THESE ACCELERATED INSIGHTS INTO HOW WE AGE.

>> ANOTHER POINT OF THE STUDY COULD BE TO FIND THERAPIES FOR CANCER.
