Apollo 13

I'm watching Apollo 13 right now.  Great movie!  I would've been a basket case if I'd been around to watch the actual thing as it happened!

I got to wondering though, and I guess I'll google around later to see if I can find out, whether there are any permanent repercussions for the astronauts later in life.

I've wondered the same thing. Did you find out any info about it?

My 'ultimate dream' is to be an astronaut, but I'm terrified of how my body would react.

I found a pretty interesting Wikipedia article here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_adaptation_to_spaceflight
