Do the patches they use (or are it pills) help a lot against space sickness?

Heck yeah!
Well, if the rest of the crew was friendly and competent... (A broadband connection to Earth, via laser linkup or something, would sweeten the deal... But hey, you can't have everything.)

Just make sure that the passageway to the cockpit has been fully sealed and that everyone has been xrayed.

Ok, so what does that exactly mean. I'll probably use the wrong terms, but: As long as I just go "up" but don't make any lateral changes? So if I was watching the Earth rotate unde me, and not rotating with it, I could go to maybe 40 or 50 miles and still fall "down" as soon as I released from my means of lift?[/quote]

Yeah, I'd go. I said that the same day Challenger exploded and again when Columbia broke up. I've spent my whole life waiting to go to space. I work 'in space' in a way, so it would be worth the hardships (motion sickness, training, etc.). That's just the way it is.
