From: David.Smith at CMU-CS-A (C410DS30) 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.
