Yup. Its not uncommon to experience space sickness for the first day or two in space. Some people never adapt (see Jake Garn).


How do astronauts sleep in space?

Answer: Astronauts close their eyes...The International Space Station is equipped with what are basically sleeping bags. They use Velcro fasteners to attach them to a convenient spot on the wall. Astronauts sleep with their arms inside the sleeping bags. Otherwise, they wake up in a "Frankenstein" position due to low gravity. See attached link with pictures from NASA.


Why can astronauts only see one side of the earth from space?

It's the same reason you can only see one side of your head when you look in a mirror. The astronauts would need a mirror to see round the back.


How was the zero gravity pen originally used in space?

The zero gravity pen was originally used in space so astronauts wouldn't have to find a pen for example if the zero gravity pen floats then the astronauts would be able to see where a pen is because if the pen did not float then if one of the astronauts needed to write something down they would have to write.


Why do astronauts float in space?

Astronauts float in space because there is no gravity pulling them down. In space, there is microgravity, which means that objects and people appear weightless and float freely. This is because there is no force pulling them towards a specific direction, allowing them to move around without feeling the effects of gravity.
