Is it true that if you've broken a bone you can't go to space?

A friend of mine recently said something to the effect of, "Well I've never broken a bone, so I can go to space."

When I asked him what he meant he said that if you've boken a bone you can't become an astronaut.

Not that becoming an astronaut is in my immediate future, but this bit of news was troubling to me. Is there any truth to this?

From wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_system

"Earth's magnetic field protects its atmosphere from interacting with the solar wind. However, Venus and Mars do not have magnetic fields, and the solar wind causes their atmospheres to gradually bleed away into space."

could it be , maybe that there is another earth like planet on the other side of the sun about 93.000.000 miles distance from the sun on the far side to us that we never see, if so would our eliptical orbit of the sun make it so that at certain times of the year we would be able to see it for a while if it was there.
