19. What does it feel like to be in space? Will our bodies feel different? (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

Most astronauts talk about enjoying the experience of floating around the Space Shuttle cabin or inside the ISS when they are in space. It is similar to the feeling we would have on a free fall ride on a roller coaster in an amusement park when we suddenly drop very quickly to the lowest point of the ride. For a moment we experience the same sensation as we would in space because we are also in a free fall environment.
