NASA man has one of the weirdest jobs in the world and he's been doing it for 50 years

For instance, when Sally Ride, the first American woman in space, wanted to take mascara on the spaceship, George rejected it due to its odor.

This is what happens when, screaming or not, bodily fluids shift in the absence of gravity. They surge inward and headward, elevating pressures inside the skull – and the risk of long-term vision impairment caused by engorged blood vessels impinging upon optic nerves.

NASA astronauts and scientists have long been aware of the phenomenon, but finding a remedy requires understanding exactly what’s happening inside the heads of space travelers floating weightlessly hundreds of miles above Earth – and beyond.
