Your entire life would be strictly scheduled: work, exercise, and even sleep all planned out in advance.

 I can get used to it |

|
 I'm always very organized |
 |
In space, attention to detail can mean the difference between life and death.

 I might drop the ball |

|
 I'm calm under pressure |
 |
You'll have almost no contact with your family and friends for more than a year.
How would you deal with the separation?

 I'd miss them too much |

|
 They'd be in my thoughts |

|
 I'll see them when I get back |
 |
Living in almost no gravity
can cause nausea, disorientation, and extreme discomfort.
Could you endure motion sickness for months on end?

 I get seasick in the bathtub |

 It would be distracting |

|
 I'll work through it |
 |
Even after working 15 hours, you might have to respond to an emergency.
Can you function efficiently when you're tired?
|
 I need my rest |

|
 With lots and lots of sugar |

 Important work keeps me focused |
 |
Astronauts keep clean with dry shampoo and baby wipes.
Could you give up bathing for over a year?
|
 I get itchy imagining it |

|
 I'd try not to get dirty |

|
 Think of the time saved! |
