No farting in the space station, unless you are wearing your suit and helmet.
Long distance sea travel during the age of sail was very hard on sailors too. Studies like this should lead to the development of solutions (artificial gravity, radiation and micro particle shielding, etc.). Admittedly, the problems are a lot more complex than Scurvy and solutions more difficult than putting Vitamin C in astronauts’ diets. But that’s the challenge.
