Re: News - Branson unveils Virgin spaceship

Perhaps you should have better manners online on your postings.
I am not ignorant of the effects of spaceflight on people. I have read
many personal accounts of people like Frank Borman, Rusty Schweikart,
et al., who suffered from space adaptation sickness.

When you fly on an airliner you see airsickness bags of the seat pocket
in front of you.
I do not think there will be similar setups in the spaceship.

The video was obviously made by a PR firm that emphasizes the romace of
space travel without the realities of high-G filght and microgravity
situations.

I even read that the latest space tourist had some trouble adapting to
zero-G on the way to the ISS.

So I can be smug if it want to .....because I am a well informed, not
ignorant smug.

WIth over 50% of astronauts having space adapatation syndrome on thier
first flights, they better have plenty of puke bags on board...

That's for a long orbital flight, not suborbital. It also applies to
people who can't use proper medication, because they have duties to
perform.

Perhaps they should put a port on those fancy helmets that attaches to
a bag.

Perhaps you should post while informed, instead of ignorant and smug
and apparently stupid.
