Sugaar, I believe jack is referring to
the weightlessness (microgravity) experienced in outer space, not weight loss.

Jack, physiological and psychological changes in the microgravity environment are research topics that NASA has explored for many years.  Here is a recent research proposal that addresses the issues: http://www.iit.edu/~mars/op_progress3.htm
