Abstract The experience of human spaceflight has taught us that aging can be modulated, accelerated and decelerated. This is also confirmed by a number of experiments on animal models. However in order to be effective in managing aging and maintaining quality of life, a new approach needs to be adopted, one that many today call functional medicine or anti-aging medicine that in its essence is very similar to the medical approach provided to the astronauts by space agencies. Space medicine therefore can become a vehicle for the promotion of a new way of doing medicine on Earth.
Highlights Human spaceflight has taught us that the aging process can be modulated. Anti-aging medicine is very similar to the medical approach provided to astronauts. Space medicine can help promote a new way of doing medicine on Earth.
