Do you want to travel the universe? According to NASA astronaut, don't be foolish!
The feeling of being suspended in the universe, watching the Earth from a great distance is probably interesting. However, it's not as fun as you think.
Have you ever wanted to fly into space? In fact, this can be said to be the common dream of many of us as children. Growing up, I guess most people still dream of always dreaming.
Even so, your dream can come true, as long as you have enough money, because in recent years companies that organize space tours are becoming more and more popular. The most prominent is Elon Musk's SpaceX, or Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin. Some experts also believe that the prospect of spending the entire weekend in the space station will soon become unfamiliar.
Travel on the universe, do you want to?
However, is it really a dream trip? The answer is no, at least according to the experience of Anna Fisher - former NASA astronaut.
Dont get wrong! This does not mean that space travel is not interesting. But according to Fisher, many problems will occur if commercialization of the space tourism industry is made.
"The problem is that many people are thinking that just jump into the rocket and so on to the universe," Fisher said.
"It's not that simple. It doesn't look like a plane at all. I can foresee that there will be passengers peeking around, then those vomit floating in the universe. That experience is worth it. $ 250,000 price?
Many problems will occur if commercialization of the space tourism industry.
Space travel is not the same as buying a tour - going to Thailand for example - then waiting for your backpack to go up and fly. Astronauts spent years practicing non-stop before flying into space.
They must experience all sorts of effects - including the "space sickness" syndrome . And in fact, this syndrome still happens with two-thirds of astronauts, no matter how much time they spend practicing.
"The first moment in the universe was not as great as you thought. I still remember when I was in the space shuttle, I had to suffer from 3G (gravity) within 2 minutes, it was difficult to breathe. Naturally, the body is light, it is very fast, " Fisher describes.
"I was really lucky that I didn't eat breakfast that day."
Talk about the universe drunken syndrome. Experts believe that this phenomenon occurs because the body has not adapted to the micro-gravity environment, because it affects the inner ear - the body's balance. In addition, you will feel every fluid in your body - including blood and . urine starts to move around.
Vomiting in the universe here.
The face of the nose is raised, the head aches like a hammer. The best way to limit this phenomenon is to be in a cramped space. It sounds like you're in a slum, not the most "lemon" travel experience in the world.
That's it! Traveling on the universe is not as fun as you think. Most likely you will have to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars, then enjoy a trip just want to vomit with clean.
"Fortunately, I have not vomited yet, but if you find that vomiting on the ground is bad, believe me, it is much worse in the universe," Fisher said.
