Space sickness cure?
I mentioned something along these lines about a year back. The idea
would be to control the inputs so that wherever the astronaut's torso was pointing became their "down", or alternately, a certain direction in the spacecraft would be the same thing: http://www.newscientisttech.com/arti...ance-back.html Pat |

Pat Flannery sez: I mentioned something along these lines about a year back. The idea would be to control the inputs so that wherever the astronaut's torso was pointing became their "down", or alternately, a certain direction in the spacecraft would be the same thing: http://www.newscientisttech.com/arti...ance-back.html Cool. Has potential, but it would be quite tricky to do usefully. You wouldn't want to do the sort of complete replacement of the balance organ they describe, that would render you dependent on a prosthesis for the rest of your life. What you'd want is a reversible procedure which would only add a directional signal to your existing system. This will be awfully difficult to do, I imagine. -- ================================================== ======================== Pete Vincent Disclaimer: all I know I learned from reading Usenet. |
