      That would be really gross!! All of your snot would be floating around your face and crashing into it. I don’t know what I’d do. Crying wouldn’t be an option, as that would just add to the mess. I guess I’d just have to wait until I was back on the spaceship to be able to do anything about it and hope I don’t sneeze anymore!!

      Well if I felt a sneeze coming on in my space suit I’d make sure I didn’t sneeze through my nose (if you know what I mean?). I always manage to sneeze a bit through my mouth to avoid all the nasty stuff flying out if I know the sneeze is coming.

      If it creeps up on me and I have snot globs flying around in the suit it’d be pretty horrible …. but also possibly quite amazing to watch ??!? maybe not…
