The first space-sick astro/cosmonaut was Gherman Titov, who did 17 orbits
in Vostok 2 in 1961.  When the Russians disclosed that several of their
cosmonauts had been space-sick, it was widely interpreted here as a sign
of superior training that the American astronauts did not get sick.  But
when we got the larger Apollo, our astronauts started getting sick, too.
Two of the Apollo 8 astronauts (Borman/Lovell/Anders) got sick.  They
didn't tell mission control about it until the problem was over, because
they didn't want to be called back.
