...magazine Jet Propulsion, Major David G. Simons, chief of the Air Force Medical Corps Space Biology Branch, gives the most authoritative estimate to date. His conclusion: G-free man will doubtless experience a nerve-racking dis location that results in space-sickness, but can probably learn to cope with...
...G-free. or negative gravity problem, is quite different. It is bound up with the delicate nerve-sensory system - centered in the canals of the inner ear, and in little muscular pressure points located through the body - that tells man whether he is level, falling, upside down or accelerating. This delicate balance sense is closely connected with the nervous sys tem. If disturbed, it can produce effects ranging from nausea (as any victim of seasickness knows) to incapacitating shock...
...impossible to create G-free conditions within the pull of earth's gravity, but military pilots have found a way to get a partial sub-gravity effect, says Major Simons. By flying in a shallow outside loop, they are lifted lightly out of their seats and can get the effect of fractional gravity for periods of 15 to 20 seconds...
