[space] An Astronaut Reveals What Life in Space Is Really Like … ‘It turns out that once you’re actually in orbit, zero-g has some upsides. Without gravity, bodily fluids move toward your head. It’s a great face-lift. Your stomach gets flat. You feel long, because you grow an inch or two. (I thought, “Oh cool, I’ll be tall,” but of course everybody else was taller too.)

Your body compensates and loses about a liter of fluid in the first couple of days—you essentially pee the headache away.’
