01. How would I be able to tell I was in space? (A K2S Question)
From The Space Library
During the launch process you will most certainly be able to feel the change in pressure, gravity, and thrust as your vehicle leaves Earth's atmosphere. Once in space, the weightlessness will be a good indication that you made it. If you have any doubt, take a spacewalk but make sure you do not float away!
