SpaceX astronaut says she was sick for the first two days of Inspiration 4 and thought the space flight wasn’t long enough, report says

• SpaceX astronaut Dr Sian Proctor told National Geographic she felt sick for two days in space.

• Proctor also said SpaceX’s three-day mission around Earth was not long enough.

• She said her head was “a little stuffy” on the second day, National Geographic reported.

A SpaceX astronaut who joined the community a month ago said the Inspiration4 mission had been sick for the first two days in space, National Geographic reported on Friday.

Dr Sian Proctor, one of four crew aboard SpaceX’s first civilian mission, told National Geographic she started to feel bad on day one.

“Space sickness is one of those things that a lot of people have,” Proctor said in the interview. “You just aren’t up to your game.”

Astronauts can detect motion sickness while in space because they feel weightless.

Proctor told National Geographic she felt better on day two but her head was “a little stuffy.”

“But man, I woke up on the third day, and I was wheezing, and everything was fine,” Proctor told the publication. “I got out of it, I was good, and I said, ‘What?’ Should I go home?! No no No! “

Mission Inspiration4 Shaft on September 16, sending four civilian astronauts into orbit for three days aboard the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft.

“I’m going longer,” the geologist and science communications specialist told National Geographic. Three days was not enough. “

“I think ideally a five-day mission in a dome-shaped Dragon capsule would be ideal,” Proctor added.

Dome A glass dome roof rests on the nose of the Crew Dragon spacecraft, from which astronauts viewed Earth from space. Proctor told National Geographic that this was “the best feature of our space flight.”

The toilet in the middle of the flight was faulty, it was also in the dome. Proctor said in the interview that it was a “garbage problem” that the crew members quickly resolved. “I think it turned out to be a bigger event than it actually was,” she added.
