NASA helped to distinguish genetic factors from environmental ones when studying the effects of living space primarily **by analyzing changes in one twin on Earth and the other in space**. This approach allowed researchers to compare the effects of the space environment on a genetically identical pair, thereby isolating the influence of genetics from environmental factors.
