Feeling Sick in Space

Living in space can be tough on the human body and astronauts often feel sick soon after they've arrived.

So what happens when astronauts get sick in space? Similar to being on a plane they grab a ‘barf bag’ and throw up into that. They're in a zero gravity environment though so they have to be careful to keep the contents stored inside the bag.
