Astronauts take about five years of training to visit ISS (International Space Station), which orbits around the earth’s outer atmosphere and is visible to humans in 6700 locations worldwide. The training sessions increase depending on the distance an astronaut is required to cover on their space mission, and an ISS visit is the basic of them all.
Imagine the view when you are actually in outer space, looking at how grand earth looks in green and blue. The feeling of being far away from home, the fear of falling back to earth, embraced by the darker void, and being incapable of letting the tears in space flow are riveting.
What Happens When You Cry In Space?
Astronauts are humans, and they can’t prevent themselves from crying. Crying is natural to humans. We cry when we are happy, and when we are sad, with the earth’s gravity, the tears trickle down our cheeks, soaking up our dress.
Zero gravity in space causes these tears to pool around the eyes, causing the eyes to sting. From small flakes of anti-fogging spray to remembering home, everything can make astronauts cry. All they can do is, wipe those tears away and watch those droplets dance around their space station. As scenic as it may be, it’s still hard to watch your pain dance in front of your eyes.
