No. There is no up or down in outer space.

There is never really 0 gravity, just very little. I would assume that the astronauts would have a slight feeling of being upside down if gravity was pulling the blood towards their head. Also, if they hjad a frame of reference, such as in the space station, they would be able to tell the difference between "upside-down" and "right-side up."

Once you are used to the weightless feeling, no...there is no up or down feeling in zero G. You dont feel your body being pulled down. Up and down are relative. You could float by a machine on the spaceship, see the lettering "upside down" to your eyes, one of you is upside down.

There is no upside down. You can be in any orientation and imagine it as up, down or sideways. You aren't relative to anything. You could look at the moon and see it hanging above you. Rotate through 180 degrees and you are looking down on its surface. There simply isn't a horizon as there is on earth.

There simply is no difference other than that you would see the rest on of the ship upside down.
