The hand-wringing over some really very mild motion on the decent here is... well, typical.Imagine if these folks had to be in zero gee for a prolonged period, I can't imagine how they would deal with that!

It's watching the ocean motion that makes me queasy.

Been bobbing in the water for an hour now. I imagine any crew that would be aboard after months in microgravity might be feeling pretty damn queasy by now.

According to the following ESA video astronauts get really resistant to disorientation nausea.<snip> ... </snip> This is explained with the brain basically concluding after a few days that its inner ear gyroscope is basically useless and ignoring it. So I'd think that they might actually be less affected.
I seem to recall that the Egress Hatch is at the Crew's feet but can't put my finger on any photos that show the interior arrangement. If that's true then because the parachutes are anchored directly above the hatch, wouldn't the crew be in a head-down position the entire time they are under parachute? Does anyone have an interior shot of the seats and hatch?

A returning Dragon crew on the other hand will be in normal gravity experiencing the up and down motion of bobbing on ocean swells. That usually makes people ill who are not used to it.
Do we know of ANY anomalies on this flight? It seems that it performed completely perfectly at every step. No launch delays, no errors on approach, perfect reentry and landing, etc. That is an incredible achievement for the first flight of a vehicle like this.

Then again one could just ask one of the Apollo astronauts.
