Motion sickness: Similar to how you or your friend may get sick in a moving car, astronauts experience motion sickness, but on the highest level. The most common symptoms of space motion sickness include: cold sweating, nausea and vomiting. Terrestrial motion sickness occurs when astronauts lose their perception of direction while working in micro gravity. In rare cases crew members are incapacitated by motion sickness. To prevent this, astronauts will undergo intense conditioning in virtual reality simulations. During the space flight, astronauts will be required to take medication to prevent motion sickness. Conclusion: With so many unknowns and potential health problems associ
