RossDuring takeoff, an astronaut may feel intense acceleration forces pushing them back into their seat, similar to experiencing the force of gravity multiplied several times. They may feel pressure and vibration as the rocket engines ignite and propel the spacecraft into space, causing their body to physically react to the G-forces. The experience can be exhilarating and overwhelming as the spacecraft accelerates rapidly towards orbit.
