Serum magnesium (Mg) invariably reduced in Space (S) ( p< .0001), catecholamines elevated to twice Earth levels, conducive to catecholamine cardiomyopathy, exemplified by “Neil Armstrong Syndrome”: severe (SE) dyspnea, SE thirst, SE tachycardia ( up to 160) during lunar excursion before inhalation iron-laden dust. On Earth, to correct Mg deficits, shortening life, use Ca/ Mg intake ratio (R) not over 2:1; higher R reduces Mg absorption. In S, bone loss, increased Ca excretion; study young exercised female rats, correlating with WBC telomere length, telomerase to determine ideal ratio: 30 rats, 10 in each group: ? 2/1, 3/1, 4/1 R.
