What do you think about SpaceX?
I'm a big fan of SpaceX. They sent up two cargo ships of food and clean underwear for me while I was up there, so I'm 100% supportive of commercial space flights!

Did you get taller during the trip?
I gained about 5 cm while in space. I was finally six foot tall! Sadly, as soon as our feet hit the plant we go back to our original height :(

What's it like trying to fall asleep in microgravity? Is it easy or difficult to adjust to mentally?
I was worried about that at first, but it was actually the easiest and best sleep I've ever had in my life!
