Russia is planning to become a space exploration superpower once again, and we bring a couple of infographics from Ria Novosti that shows who are the ideal candidates to become the new cosmonauts, and what they will face, in terms of health. From Space.com comes a tribute to the 1st American in orbit, John Glenn, and designer Guillermo Munro takes us trough the scientific investigation during the 520 day stay, simulating a possible manned space trip to Mars. To close our week of Daily Viz from Visual Loop, BBC puts in perspective how big is our solar system.
