Researching a few last minute pics for a talk I’m giving Thursday. I only have 45 minutes but my talk covers a quick history of human #spaceflight. Check out the @kscosmosphere Facebook page Thursday from 9-10 AM CST for my “From Apollo to Artemis” presentation. #Artemis #Apollo

Note how astronauts (left to right) Jack Lousma, Owen Garriott, & Alan Bean were protected from recovery personnel who wore “face masks to prevent exposing the crewmen to disease.” Pic and caption- @NASA

I hope you’ll join us on Thursday for the live zoom chat! You can also join the presentation here: cosmomeeting.org

I wish I had more time in the day to browse all the @NASA content on @Flickr and other websites. There are so many rabbit holes I would love to stumble down. Later tonight we’re going to stumble down one together with some amazing Earth observation imagery captured during #Skylab

Here’s another fun pic. Pete Conrad pic here training on the Human Vestibular Function experiment at @NASA_Johnson. Astronauts are affected differently by microgravity. Studying how spaceflight affected the human body was part of the Skylab mission.

Here’s a graphic that shows the various functions of the #Skylab experiment. #space

NASA notes that space adaptation syndrome & space motion sickness are experienced by “60-80% of space travelers during their first 2 to 3 days in microgravity.” Thankfully, most astronauts & cosmonauts adapt and are able to live and work in space.
