How bubble muscles could help astronauts get their space legs

When astronauts finally reach Mars, they’ll face a unique challenge: walking and working in gravity that’s only 37% as strong as Earth’s. After spending months in the weightlessness of space, their weakened muscles and bones will struggle to cope with even this reduced gravity.
