Luckily, most of it quickly rights itself once you are "back on Earth"... but of course that gets more difficult the longer the mission.<br /><br />I also often wonder what will happen on the way to Mars if there is some surgical emergency? I hope astronauts will get appendectomies beforehand... but I don't believe they do now. Seems risky! They have done successful tests of surgery on animals during parabolic flights though.PillowNauthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14110076273424820771noreply@blogger.com
