What I want to know is this: I know you have to train to be an astronaut, to show that you can develop the skills to cope with the pressure of leaving the atmosphere etc. They also have to go through so many health checks and stuff. Will the people who take this trip outside of the earths atmosphere have to go through anything like this? Or is the spacecraft traveling not that far into space that it is necessary?

I really don't know much about any of it, so sorry if I sound stupid!
