Abstract
Research in space life sciences is a multidisciplinary activity that has—over several decades—resulted in many incremental new findings, extensions to our knowledge, and considerable technological progress rather than in just a few spectacular breakthroughs. Although the latter are easier to be appreciated by the public and by politicians, science and research also in terrestrial settings usually take time, money, and patience before a significant progress becomes visible. Nevertheless, we will try in this chapter to convince the dear reader that space life sciences have generated numerous success stories over the years, be it in the form of incremental progress or as real breakthroughs. An even broader view on the accomplishments that are currently delivered by the research and development activities specifically on the International Space Station is published frequently by the ISS partners in “ISS Benefits for Humanity” (latest issue 2019; https://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/atoms/files/benefits-for-humanity_third.pdf).
