"Moonbase 3 has a nice lounge area for visiting space pilots. You can relax in a 100% oxygen environment under simulated sunlight."
Maybe you are wondering why simulated sunlight is important.
Not many people know that space travelers sometimes have low vitamin D.
Vitamin D helps us properly use the calcium and phosphate we get from eating a balanced diet. Calcium is important for healthy bones and teeth.
Our body creates vitamin D from direct sunlight on our skin when we're outdoors. So that's why the lounge has simulated sunlight.
Interesting, huh?
