Your Questions for an Astronaut

Submitted by DerVodkaOtta t3_11fwgrl in space

Hello everyone! In 2 Weeks a NASA astronaut (I cannot say wich one, but they have been chosen for the Artemis Moon landings) will be at my school to answer our questions!

So, please give me the best questions you would want to ask them, and if I can ask them, I'll write you the answers!

What’s the biggest complaint/most surprising change previous astronauts have come back with?

Yes, there are multiple astronauts on the space station with instagram accounts. Search for Astro_ on instagram and you’ll find a bunch of them

I asked another astronaut on here this question a few months ago, but didn't get an answer (not blaming him, I squandered my first contact with him by gushing over the fact that a person on the edge of space was talking to me, and he was swamped with many questions)

So my question is, how hard/easy is it to fall asleep in zero G? And are dreams affected in any way?

And if I may be so cheeky, I'd also love to know if anyone has experienced the effects of THC in zero G. For uh, research purposes, y'know?

Thanks!

How many people apply to be astronauts and end up as astronauts? how unlikely is it?

Not sure if you've been asked this but I'll bite, what's the weirdest thing you've witnessed while training? Another one is what myths about training that is fake? I know both can be something that can hint at stuff you can't say due to NDA's but I hope you can answer both or just one
