Not sure how relevant this would be to the article itself,but as I watch NASA's internet feed, about to follow the deorbit burn, I wonder if there's a danger of sickness from going back into gravity, justas there is from entering weighlessness.

I know this is a year back, on the off chance you will read this its worth typing since its interesting. While weightless astronautics experience bone and muscle loss and will have trouble standing on return (the long in space the more loss of function). This is because humans (and animals) are adapted to optimize their energy use depending on their requirements for the environment. In space you don't need to carry your own weight, so less effort is used to keep that strength. This loss of function also happens to people who are confined to a bed or chair for a long period for any reason (some illnesses can make the process go faster or slower). |

Lifting weights to get stronger is the opposite process. Putting stress on the body so it adapts and increases muscle mass. |

Why Do Astronauts Suffer From Space Sickness?
I found a very interesting and informative article here. I am adding this link to the article. Embhee (talk) 15:01, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
Interesting source
I came across this while researching for the Vostok 3 and Vostok 4 articles − it seems the Soviets were theorizing the causes of SAS as early as 1961, just after Titov was sick on Vostok 2, and a good part of the -3 and -4 missions were research into the condition. It makes since that they were worried, since Titov was the only person to spend any length of time in space at that point. It's discussed in an interview with the cosmonauts after the latter two missions. Here's the cite template, since I've got it:
- ""Group Space Flight" Described" (PDF). Flight. 82 (2791). London: Iliffe Transport Publications: pp. 389-391. 6 September 1962. Retrieved 2009-03-17.
