I saw a video on this and it sure would help a lot of people with osteoporosis. Not just those in space. Hope it continues to go somewhere. I know a little about this because of my family and current osteoporosis drugs only work to slow bone breakdown - not form new bone. People in space lose bone density at a faster rate I believe.

Yes this is true, people in space do lose bone density at a faster rate. I stumbled across this article after researching information about Osteoporosis. I too have family member who has it and had gotten numerous fractures over the last few years.
