About Motion Sickness

Just about anyone can get motion sickness—even astronauts get it. Children ages 2 to 12 very easily get motion sickness, while infants and toddlers seem relatively immune. But for everybody else, the sense of motion, whether from riding in a car, boat, airplane, (or space shuttle) brings on those queasy feelings.

Motion sickness comes on quickly, but quiets down when the motion stops. Still, if you’re prone to it, you can be in for an unpleasant ride.
