Also keep in mind, mander.xyz's rules on politics

Please keep politics to a minimum. When science is the focus, intersection with politics may be tolerated as long as the discussion is constructive and science remains the focus. As a general rule, political content posted directly to the instance’s local communities is discouraged and may be removed. You can of course engage in political discussions in non-local communities.

I cringe whenever I see video streams of the astronauts on the ISS and see the veins on their heads bulging like they’re straining hard. Do they actually feel it the way we do here on earth or do they just feel normal and it’s just a visual thing.

Obligatory "I am not an astronaut", but I've heard that it is common to feel kind of congested or "stuffed up" in the head on long duration missions.
