Interesting article gandy. I guess it would also be useless to tell someone to cheer up too. Feeling down would also be difficult.

haha!

    A bolnde was playing Trivial Pursuit one night. It was her turn. She rolled the dice and she landed on Science & Nature. Her question was, "If you are in a vacuum and someone calls your name, can you hear it?"

    She thought for a time and then asked, "Is it on or off?"

The researchers involved with people aboard the ISS must be finding all sorts of things like this. After all, our bodies have evolved with gravity, so many functions must be disrupted to some extent.

almost smart answer but the error was leaving the blonde play in the first place

I try to never cry when I travel through space.

we forgot you have to travel alot

We all travel through space! 

"Using a radio telescope system that measures celestial distances 500 times more accurately than the Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers plotted the motion of the Milky Way and found that the sun and its family of planets were orbiting the galaxy at about 135 miles per second."

"The sun circles the Milky Way at a speed of about 486,000 miles per hour."
