A very interesting article here that talks about how so many Astronaughts get a sort of euphoric feeling from being in space a sense of "oneness with the universe" etc..etc..

Liberals are not the only ones to smoke pot.

Anyway, it's a very interesting article.

The experience isn't unique to astronauts; it's a universal effect, felt by people of all religions. It's caused by suppression of activity in the posterior superior parietal lobe, which normally generates a sense of apartness from the world (my hand vs. the keyboard), and orients your body image in space and time.
