Topsy-Turvy

Traveling through space is a bit like going through a looking glass.  Ordinary things tend to be anything but.

The simple becomes complex, and the complex becomes simple.  Tooth brushing becomes a chore and a half, whereas weight lifting becomes easy.

Astronaut Megan McArthur therefore cautions wannabes that space travel is no picnic.  Unless your idea of fun is to climb Mount Everest, zipping around in microgravity could be quite daunting.  Way worse than a weekend camping trip.  More like a pilgrimage on the Oregon Trail in the mid-1800s.
