Comment on Space Honey

Veins are small so capillary action keeps things in order.

With no gravity though you’ll have higher blood pressure to your head (and less to the legs)- it kinda makes astronauts faces a bit puffy.

Most of your body processes are in a small enough space that capillary action overtakes gravity.

So what you’re saying is they should alternate between upside down and right side up

  Technically if they did that fast enough the blood pressure on both would get higher, potentially MUCH higher.
