I would recommend that before resorting to English SE (where folks can often be very picky about the quality of previous research in a question being insufficient in their view) one consider migration to [Space Exploration SE](https://space.stackexchange.com/) where medical and psychological details of spaceflight are frequently discussed and those involved with spaceflight (and perhaps even a few who have done so personally) may chime in.
