0 Question: If you did a head stand in space would the blood still go to your head Keywords: blood, head stand, space Asked by mshaw to Jemma, John, Katie, Lisa on 29 Jun 2012.

Hi @mshaw,
Blood rushes to your head due to gravity. Gravity still exists in space but is just very much weaker. So yes the blood would still move towards your head but very much slower. You would have to do a very long handstand to get the same feeling!
Thanks!
Lisa
