13. How can we prepare for space travel? Will there be long procedures and a lot of training? (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

The more you know about space and space travel before you go, the better the trip will be so spend lots of time reading your Kids to Space: A Space Travelers' Guide. Keep fit and slim—the lighter the passengers the higher we can go! Good spacelines like Virgin Galactic will give you plenty of time—around three full days—to get fully prepared for the flight. This will include g-force training in light aircraft, simulator training, and lectures. We want each passenger to able to savor every second of the flight itself but more importantly, we will not require passengers to have special skills or experience.
