Those are NASA rules- same for Air Force pilots. <BR/><BR/>I too was planning on be an astronaut before I learned about this. There are eye exercises that might help, but so far these methods have not been accepted by the mainstream as being effective. I don't know if they work or not. <BR/><BR/>...of course, you can always build your own rocket.RJUhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16542085067043786742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4147219.post-1146070123268927622006-04-26T11:48:00.000-05:002006-04-26T11:48:00.000-05:00WMB--You know, I'd even forego espresso drinks for...WMB--<BR/><BR/>You know, I'd even forego espresso drinks for the chance to go to Mars.

Then you could test human sexuality in space, as well as confined coupled dynamics.<BR/><BR/>On a side note, I think I was telling you this when we met now that I think about it, maybe we can get you into a study where you are isolated for 3 months with random awakenings...which would be cool except for the temp probe in your ass. Anyway, what were we talking about?platts42https://www.blogger.com/profile/08086882674873049929noreply@blogger.com
