08. Are there physical, psychological and medical restrictions or requirements? What kinds of tests will we take? Are the tests tough? (A K2S Question)

There are very few physical, psychological or medical requirements. Early private spaceflights will probably require your doctor's permission, or recommend you not fly if you are pregnant or suffering from spinal or heart problems—similar to the cautions you see posted next to a ride at an amusement park. Flying into space at this point will not require you to take any tests!
