Astronauts = Is it worth getting DEFORMED over.

Eyeballs
The lack of gravity affects the shape of the eyeball, flattening the back of the eye.
“I definitely did have visual changes in space,” said Barratt, whose eyeball has changed shape permanently
.
.
Skin
researchers found that German astronaut Thomas Reiter’s skin was thinner and more stretchy
.
.
Heart
those scans have shown that the heart becomes rounder and weaker in space.
.
.
Liver
The liver hangs off a piece of tissue called the mesentery, but without gravity, the liver and that piece of tissue are no longer being pulled down.
Barratt said that when he’s in space and wants to take scan an astronaut’s liver, he has to place the probe higher up on the torso.
“The liver is higher than when you’re on the ground,”
.
.
Bones
some astronauts lost as much as 20 percent of their bone mass.
.
.
Vomit In Face
Nausea and vomiting are triggered by sudden entry into microgravity where there’s no sense of up or down.
To make matters worse, if you don’t throw up into a specially designed bag, your vomit could float back toward you and hit you in the face.

Penis
A2A “Are astronauts allowed to jerk off in the ISS?”
They are prohibited, but they do not always follow the rules.
These guys tend to be “cowboys” and think the rules don't apply to them.
This was a HUGE problem with US astronaut Scott Kelly.
He spent over 500 days in space, was incredibly talented but was also known for masturbating compulsively.
It started discretely with pocket pool, but by the end of his tour
he was just whipping it out and flogging it everyday.
It got so bad that NASA called him back before his mission was supposed to end
