Yeah, it is.
It is.
It is.
But it is, I'll tell you just on like kind of the health side of it.
Everybody feels different.
So you can talk about the amazing views and how that impacts you, like we were talking before about the overview effect.
But the simple reality is we didn't evolve to exist in microgravity.
So everybody feels differently.
And the bookends here are you feel like you're hanging upside down from your bed.
and it lasts for days, but otherwise pretty functional.
That's your best case scenario, by the way.
That's your best case?
Best case scenario.
The other end of the spectrum is you get incredibly sick, like horrible motion sickness, and you're throwing up for a couple days.
And that's the reality.
600 and some odd people, almost 700 have been to orbit.
Just greater than 50% will get what's called space adaptation syndrome, and they'll be a mess for a couple days until they get some shots and they feel better.
And it has nothing to do with whether you get motion sickness on the Earth.
You can be like this amazing fighter pilot, fly upside down, do loops and rolls and whatever, and you can be a wreck in space for a couple days.
So yeah, everybody feels different in orbit, but it's worth it.
