NASA helped to distinguish genetic factors from environmental ones when studying the effects of living space **by analyzing changes in one twin on Earth and the other in space.** This approach, particularly highlighted in the NASA twin study involving astronauts Scott and Mark Kelly, allowed researchers to examine the impact of the space environment on one individual while having a genetically identical control on Earth.
