Astronauts experienced reverse blood flow and blood clots on the space station, study says
From CNN:
"(CNN) - A study of 11 healthy astronauts onboard the International Space Station for six-month missions has revealed a new risk of long-term spaceflight.
Six of the astronauts experienced stagnant or reverse blood flow, one had a blood clot and another was found to have a potential partial blood clot.
...
This is the first time researchers have observed these conditions in astronauts and the implications of their discovery could impact future long-term spaceflight, such as a mission to Mars."

Agreed. Then there's the radiation hazards too. The rocket science of it is trivial compared to the biology.
