It’s caused by reduced air pressure. Every climber knows about it. Apparently there have been studies that say it relates to diffusion of carbon dioxide out of the bloodstream, rather than the simple application of Boyle’s Law that you might imagine.

Strange. You’d think in all the pre-launch prep that it would make sense to start the astronauts off well in advance on the same diet they’d be having in space, so as to avoid any surprises. (Didn’t they keep that one fellow off Apollo 13 because of the remote possibility that he might come down with German measles in orbit?)

I would have guessed he was lactose intolerant and ate some of that “astronaut ice cream” but apparently that’s a myth, NASA never supplied the missions with freeze-dried ice cream.
