they are all in orbit so when they come to the surface of the earth they feel nausia
During the launch, astronauts in a space shuttle experience a sensation of weightlessness for a short period due to the force of gravity being canceled out by the acceleration of the shuttle. However, this weightlessness is not the same as the zero gravity experienced in orbit, as it is a result of the shuttle's motion rather than being in a true microgravity environment.
The term "artificial gravity" refers to using science technology to create gravity. This is usually desired by astronauts and space organizations such as NASA to keep their astronauts healthy and to minimize the effects of weightlessness on astronauts during long term space travel.
Yes astronauts do control the space shuttle. During lift off and 9 and half minutes after the lift off most of the things are controlled by the computers on board but after that everything is in the hands of astronauts. During landing too everything is controlled by the team of astronauts.
The part of a space shuttle that astronauts ride in is called the crew module or orbiter. It is the spacecraft's living quarters and the area where astronauts perform their tasks during the mission.

Noop. In fact, as the Shuttle is accelerating, the astronauts are experiencing not only the pull of gravity, but also the acceleration of the rocket. For the comfort of the crew, they try to keep the excess gravity to about 4 G, basically 4 times the pull of gravity. Only after the engines have stopped, and the shuttle is no longer accelerating, will the astronauts feel weightless, as the Shuttle and astronauts are all falling around the Earth at the same speed.

on humans
The effects of weightlessness on humans is explored during the work done by astronauts. This helps with advancements in medical and technological fields.

Apollo 1 fire, killing all three astronauts. Space Shuttle Challenger Explosion, killing all seven astronauts. Space Shuttle Columbias Re-entry breakup, killing all seven astronauts.
The maximum acceleration that was experienced during normal shuttle liftoff was about 3g. During reentry, astronauts experienced approximately 1.5g.
The space shuttle carries tools and equipment in its cargo bay during missions. Astronauts can use airlocks or robotic arms to transfer tools from the shuttle to the International Space Station or for use during spacewalks.
