Here is a short clip of what it looks like when you're in the trainer. It is designed not to make you dizzy or sick because it does not change your body's equilibrium or center of gravity. However, it did something to me because I got siiiiiiccccckkk.
As I said before, astronauts no longer use this in training because there is no tumbling when coming back into the Earth's atmosphere. There used to be a joystick in the center where the astronauts tried to gain control of the spinning and smooth out the ride.

The trainer looks crazy. is it true that you never spin the smae direction twice? I heard that once, sounds a bit intimidating. What are you eating while at space camp. I hope that your rashons are better than MRE's. Also have you asked about problems with moskitos in the shuddles while in space, i hear that it is an issue. I also heard that once there was a mouse traped abord one time and the mouse had babbys. The mouse learned how to function with zero gravity (or what ever percent you have in a shuddle) and the babbys would get loose. The mom mouse was able to figure out the lagistics of the gravity and bounce off the walls in order to corral her babbys. Might be a nasa mith but if not, quite interesting. Hope all is well. sorry about the spelling.
