Symptoms include stuffy nose, headaches, and a puffy face · In a micro gravity environment, muscles weaken quickly due to lack of use which is why the astronauts must exercise at least once a day · In space, astronauts get much more radiation then on earth

First Post Our mission has been going very well so far. Everybody is healthy and happy. We have been in space for 48 hours already. Our day consists of things. When the crew wakes up at 6:00 there is 30 minutes of Post sleep which is the time allotted to personal things. Then we get 30 minutes for breakfast which consists of Granola with Raisins, a Breakfast Roll, a Pear, a Vanilla Breakfast Drink, Kona Coffee, and/or Earl Grey Tea with Sugar. Next, there is an hour minutes of Prep-Work which is the time to prepare equipment for the day or prepare it for the nine hours when the crew sleeps. Once the equipment is ready the crew has three hours for the day’s work before the hour the crew gets to exercise. The crew must exercise at least once a day to maintain a healthy body. Exercise keeps strong muscles as well as healthy systems. Also, in a micro gravity environment, muscles don’t have to work as hard so the crew must exercise to keep them strong. After the exercise the crew gets 30 minutes of lunch which consists of Chicken Strips with Salsa, Macaroni and Cheese, Rice with Butter, Macadamia Nuts, and/or Apple Cider. Once lunch is done there is four more hours of work. Next, there is another hour of exercise; after all we want to keep healthy in the three years it takes to get to the moon, Cordelia. Afterwards it’s dinner time. Dinner consists of Shrimp Cocktails, Beef Steak, Macaroni and Cheese, Fruit Cocktails, Strawberry Drinks, and/or Tea with Lemon and lasts 30 minutes. After dinner there’s another hour of Prep-Work, this time putting away all the equipment. Once everybody is ready, we hold our Daily Planning Conference with Mission Control. This takes an hour and a half because of all the different things that everyone must report. Before we get ready for bed we spend an hour listening to music. It is proven that music calms you and helps you feel better. We listen to half an hour of classical music, 20 minutes of upbeat and 10 minutes of instrumental/jazz. Once we feel better we get ready for bed and just talk for a while. At exactly 9:00 we turn off the lights and sleep for 9 hours until the next day when we repeat the schedule.
