Will he need bones of steel and powerful muscles to resist rocket thrust,the lungs of a glass blower,a mighty heart,the calmness of an acrobat,unconscious death urges,or a schizophrenic(患精神分裂症的)drove toward isolation?

His heart and lungs must be healthy but need not be exceptionally developed,for his cabin will be pressurized.Huge muscles may actually be disadvantageous,for he will have almost no way to get exercise,and he will find that the strength of a year old child is adequate in the weightlessness of space.A firm body and a short, strong neck will help him to withstand(抗拒;经得起……)the tremendous forces encountered at take off.Most important physically,his digestive system must be one that will not be upset by weightlessness;he must not be subject to motion sickness.
