The first three days are fairly uncomfortable with the vertigo but

:02:33.:02:35.

once that disappears, it is really a case of the body

:02:36.:02:38.

That's what takes the longest because your body has shut down your

:02:39.:02:42.

vestibular system for the six months in space and that actually

take a long time to learn the finesse of balance.
