Bone loss during the course of a long voyage to Mars could result in an increased risk of a bone fracture during activities on the Martian surface or even back on Earth as a result of aging. Scientists are finding that long term space travel will likely cut down on a significant portion of astronauts bone mass. They have also found that although bone mass will likely be replaced, the bone structure and density of returning astronauts will not return to normal.
