19 LETTER REPORT SUMMARY Overall the committee was encouraged by the progress NASA has made in such a short period of time to develop the first iteration of the evidence books and NASA’s willingness to request this external review early in the program’s history. The committee’s recommendations to strengthen the content, composition, and dissemination of the evidence books are intended, in a fashion similar to recommendations made re- garding the Bioastronautics Roadmap, to improve future versions of these critical documents. These evidence books should be the continu- ously updated knowledge base of best evidence regarding risks to human health associated with spaceflight, particularly spaceflight beyond low Earth orbit and of long duration. Such a knowledge base will serve the interests of mission planners, researchers, and ultimately the individuals who accept those risks in their role as space travelers.
