NASA will not answer this question.

Astronauts will not say what they go though on how they feel when space shuttle is lifting off. I mean how do that feel? Sick or what?? I always wonder.
 
That information can be found online. Acceleration G force physiology is well established since the early days of jet travel. They wear special suits to constrict the blood flow to the extremities just like combat jet pilots do to prevent blackouts. It is all online. Look it up. Heck, even the NASA site has some of the stuff published.
 
Where online i get these stuff. NASA.gov Infomation Is differcult find on this subject. Where do i get infomation on astronauts health?

Gee... that's shocking coming from you! You seem to find everything on republicans, but you can't find anything on NASA? :roll:
 
Levonian thats not what i mean. I mean when the shuttle takes off and the altertude is 75,000 Speed is 6,000 MPH feet You gotta feel something right?
 
True, but I haven't been in a spaceship before, so if only I could image it, I think I would have vomit all over the place and it could be floating over everyone's head, whoever rode with me on it!....

Don't worry I won't eat anything that heavy enough to see all the stuff floating around!.... :lol:
 
Steve,
You live in Florida. Why not just drive over there...wait outside of the gates and when a scientist comes out, you force him off the road and ask him?
 
Well, all I know is that they feel a HELL of a lot of g-force. I think I read somewhere once that it’s almost enough to kill them, but not quite. So if you’ve ever been on one those amusement park rides where you get in the spinning drum and then the floor falls out from under you, it’s like that only a LOT stronger. I would guess that they don’t feel sick at all—they just feel REALLY heavy.

Ha hahahaaha!!! I like your sense of humor Taylor!

The astronauts train in centrafuges. They are accelerated to the maximum g force to see how they handle it. A lot of people cannot. Then there is another device they use. It helps to measure a person's tolerence to spatial disorientation by being spun in all directions at once. Everyone barfs on it. That is the point where they stop. It is a set of concentric rings with offset axis. :laugh2: Even advanced combat pilots undergo this training.

Hurling in a spacesuit, spacecraft, or high performance aircraft could be disasterous. There are vacuume tubes to take care of that. And there are catheters and "piddle-packs" to take care of your other bodily functions.

A person weighing 160 pounds at 1 G here on earth would weigh 480 pounds at 3 G. Assuming a launch g of 6 g, about the most a human can stand without blacking completely out, your body would weigh just shy of a thousand pounds. You can see why g-suits are necissary to keep blood from migrating and pooling in the extremities starving the brain.

Interestingly, it seems that prolonged zero gravity, which they also train for (search VOMET COMET ) has the most serious long term effect in the form of bone density loss.

Duh! Bring an interpreter! If you're going to complain about that, use a paper and pen. If you're still going to complain... too bad!

Steve, Taylor was just joking with you. I got the joke but evidently you did not.
You can search the NASA site and find places you can e-mail your specific questions I was not able to answer for you. Additionally, a lot of universities are engaged in space medicine research. That is another resource you might try. None of this online research requires hearing, just persistant use of the available search engines.
