  2. @Niteowl009 We sleep in sleeping bags that attach to the wall. I found that this was very comfortable--it felt like floating underwater. 9:50 AM Nov 30th from Tweetie in reply to Niteowl009
  3. @tesneddon You see your family as soon as you return to crew quarters about an hour after landing. It is the highlight of the day! 9:46 AM Nov 30th from Tweetie in reply to tesneddon
  4. @salliboo Its more like if you close your eyes and spin fast; or if you have been on a boat in wavy conditions. 1:06 PM Nov 29th from Tweetie in reply to salliboo
  5. @Niteowl009 For most it takes 2-10 days for sense of balance to normalize after flight. Nodding head quickly can provoke tumbling feeling. 1:03 PM Nov 29th from Tweetie in reply to Niteowl009
  6. Transitioning from zero g to 1 g is also dynamic. Biggest effect is on sense of balance. I feel almost baseline after 24 hours. 3:38 PM Nov 28th from Tweetie
  7. Did our blood draws today on orbit. In zero g it’s a bit trickier to take a blood sample. Surface tension dominates the fluid dynamics. 4:46 AM Nov 27th from web
