Actually, about 2/3 of the people who travel to space have some degree of motion sickness. They spent thousands of hours trying to figure out how to eliminate it, but eventually they gave up, and now those afflicted have to go through about 24 to 72 hours of "feeling woozy" or actually getting sick.

24 you can still train but if you suffer from motion sickness I advise you shouldn't try it.
as for getting into space the first flights start next year $2500 for 20 Min's and there are plans for an hotel.

Yes. Many of the astronauts have suffered from "space sickness". There doesn't seem to be a correlation between susceptibility to space sickness and susceptibility to car sickness or seasickness.

Yes because it is something you would grow accustomed to. A lot of sailors get seasick but they get over it when they are aboard ship and it happens to people on cruise ships too. But your body quickly adapts to motion. So go ahead and go for it. You won't be sorry.

yes as long as they can see out in the front seat.
My daughter always shouted out Shotgun.
She has motion sickness. Sometimes she has to take a back or a back back seat in the minivan

Well, I don't think so...it's amazing the screening astronauts have to go trough...but, if is for you to take a vacation I guess you could take pills. lol
