Once we have a way to produce a gravity field in space and have good radiation protection, then children will be in no more ...

... a hospital, as we know it on Earth, to be built in space. Many concepts, such as the suggestion for burn management, are interesting, but a typical Earth practice may not be practical in the space setting. ---- Answer provided by Col. USAF Dr. Richard S.

This does not mean we should not be concerned about fires on board ... studies of how fire propagates in the confines of a micro-gravity environment on board a large orbiting spacecraft like the ISS. To better understand how fires can spread in space, astronauts and cosmonauts perform ...
