Human physiological changes are outlined which occur in a space environment. It is shown that flexibility and adaptability are keys to maximizing neurological and body-functions for purposes of life support and health under reduced gravity conditions. Controlled manipulation of gravity in a space environment could reduce some aging problems by delaying the physical collapse of the skeleton, the cardiovascular system, and of tissues and organs.
