Almost every cosmonaut suffers from the so called "space disease". This disease is characterized by headaches, nausea.
In conditions of zero gravity, liquids move up. That's why the nose is permanently blocked, and the face becomes "pumped-up". Cosmonauts' height increases in space.
In the result of an experiment, when a pregnant rat was sent to space, it was determined that the development of the child in space is almost impossible.
A very good point is that in space the cosmonauts don't snore. It seems that women should start living with their snoring husbands in space
A negative point is that you see 16 sunrises in one day, which gives a negative effect to your body.

WoW, 16 sunrises in one day will definitely drive me crazy indeed, Andrewz lol

However, I think living in the space will turn into a reality in the future...

[John]

Why would liquid move up in the space?
It wouldn't move down because there is no gravity.. but why move up?

[Benn]

wow I guess my snoring problem is solved. but, I wouldn't like to have my nose permanently blocked. Just to understand the life in space, watch this

Did you know that water used by cosmonauts on the orbit is recycled? For example, pardon me, even their urine is filtered into water and oxygen, and this water is permanently reused in circulation.

[Steven]

spacemen have special rooms where they eat. Earlier, the range of food was very narrow, now it expanded.

Astronauts sleep in special sleeping bags. These bags are fastened with belts to the wall. They can also fasten their heads, so that they don't dangle when sleeping.

[M.Helen]

Everything sounds very exciting. Though, I wouldn't like to go into a spaceship with men for a long time, as it is very dangerous of being surrounded by single men when there's "no way out" in case of something.

[Terry]

I think there are special things for that. The newspapers and TV will never say it, but, in order that a man is fully healthy he needs to satisfy his sexual needs. In space, it's not possible to do it naturally, as you don't have your wife or girlfriend next to you. So I think these space ships are equipped with special "items" for these purposes. Do you agree?

and what do you mean by that? You're saying there are special "space sex dolls" for astronauts?
I don't know, but I remember a few years ago there was a scandal in this matter, when the men team tried to rape the woman when they stood for almost half a year on the orbit.

[M.Helen]

It wouldn't be difficult for me to abstain from that. I know it's a physical necessity, but, when astronauts are selected, these traits must be taken into account and if the trait is obvious, then they must not be allowed on orbit.

[Faw_Peter]

In space you have to be first of all mentally healthy and resistant. Can you imagine living half a year on the orbit and see no people, no nature breathe artificial air? You can go insane.

[Benn]

Men probably use vaccum cleaners for peeing
Does anybody know how they take showers?

[Laurentine]

Earlier or later we'll all have to learn living in space conditions. I mean that's the trend of the future, scientists search for new planets where to live. Maybe we'll need to fly for a couple of years to those planets.

Where do you get all from . Astronauts come from only a select group of qualifiers which are those with needed university qualifications. There has never been an average joe or jane as an astronaut, and as university graduates are a minority of the popuation, the assumption of all having to learn living in space is an ignorant statement as it will be an elite group that is allowed into space,not anyone as you seem to think

[Nathan]

Tsp, why not? You probably know about space tourism, don't you? It's quite logical and foreseeable that in the future the price for these cosmic tours will plummet and it will become a nothing-special deal to go into space. That's where we're heading, we are too many on this planet, it can't hold us anymore.

[Laurentine]

In spaceships, instead of water, vacuum is used in WC. Also, astronauts don't use shoes at all. Though, they put on sneakers with hard bottom when practicing sports.

[Peach]

I wouldn't like to live there and I think it's a nonsense when people talk about living on the other planets, they simply won't be able, they are accommodated to earth.

[Lorry]

Yes from one point of view it is good but if there is a risk for our safety or health then better to give up, better to refuse it. There are a lot of another good remedies for this type of headache and vertigo, it doesn't mean that you should take such great decisions.
