...Challenger crew members also activated an array of zero-g experiments, some, like a biological-materials separation test for making Pharmaceuticals, of potential commercial value. The space team acted as guinea pigs for Mission Specialist Norm Thagard, 39, the second medical doctor to fly the shuttle. He was trying to learn why some astronauts suffer from a form of queasiness known as space-adaptation syndrome during the initial hours of weightlessness. At the astronauts' request, Mission Control no longer publicly discusses medical problems during a flight. But judging by the demeanor of the five during television broadcasts from Challenger...

Nor was Clark, being essentially a 19th century critic at work in the 20th, able to bring to his work the array of insights about perception and psychology that distinguished contemporaries like Ernst Gombrich or Adrian Stokes.
