Virtual reality is fighting loneliness, both on Earth and in space The loneliness epidemic is in full swing Simulated isolation Given the risks associated with isolation, space agencies conduct large-scale simulation studies to investigate and mitigate these effects.SIRIUS (Scientific International Research in Unique Terrestrial Station)is a series of on-land isolation experiments simulating long-term spaceflight. It is safer and cheaper to perform on-land simulations to assess the effects of isolation on the crew....
