Moreover, microgravity-induced cephalad fluid shifts amplify the impact of CO\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    -mediated cerebral vasodilation, contributing to elevated intracranial pressure and potentially exacerbating spaceflight-associated neuro-ocular syndrome. Chronic hypercapnia also raises concerns about bone demineralization and renal stone formation, compounding mission risks. As we move toward longer missions to the Moon and Mars, mitigating CO\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    -related health effects through engineering controls, physiological countermeasures, and enhanced monitoring is essential.
