I haven't studied anything on space sickness recently, but I get the feeling that it's much more understood than it was 30 years ago. From what I've read, nobody got sick on Mercury or Gemini, but after that all bets were off. Mike Collins wrote in 1973 that "it just didn't make any sense."

On or about Sun, 31 Jul 2005 22:27:20 +0000 (UTC), David Lesher made the sensational claim that:
I heard 5-6 years ago that it was very hard to get Shuttle tours, even for VIP's, because there's a ...lingering odor therein.... from various crew members who.... I toured Endeavour in 2000 and I asked if odor was a problem with returning vehicles. The guy inside said not really, but that it was slightly worse with the compacting toilet(vs. the dehydrating toilet). I imaging vomit isn't even that bad. I think it's the boogers everyone leaves behind[1] you gotta watch out for. [1] And I was kicking myself after we got out for not thinking of that. Oh well, at least my fingerprints have gone up on an OMS pod. -- This is a siggy | To E-mail, do note | Just because something It's properly formatted | who you mean to reply-to | is possible, doesn't No person, none, care | and it will reach me | mean it can happen |
