      Unfortunately I have no first hand experience 🙁 But i have read a lot about it and most people feel sick for at least a day or two. This is because on Earth the food in our stomachs is pulled down to the bottom by gravity. In zero gravity the food is free to bounce around in our stomachs leading to nausea. I think it would still be one of the coolest feelings in the world though (or rather, out of this world!)
