I love the "forgetting Gravity exists" bit. Basically, up in the space station you get used to your new conditions pretty quickly. How quickly we can unlearn things.

  • I've read that when they first land, the astronauts can't even walk. They have to be carried out of the capsule.

    Could you imagine if suddenly, gravity was 3 or 4 times greater than it is now? Every movement would be exhausting.....balancing without falling would be difficult. I imagine that's how they feel at first.

    But these astronauts quickly re-adapt to the gravity of Earth. The muscles, bones, and senses really want to be at our gravity....

    I like how the guy that drops the cup and pen looks up and down for them, with no instinct that things fall to the floor.
