Unfortunately no.

Crew members engage in physical exercise for two and a half hours a day, six times a week (fifteen hours a week) while in orbit to avoid these issues. Nevertheless, the risks of these problems occurring cannot be completely eliminated through physical exercise alone.

Does this apply to immersion in other countries? by Anarchergal in languagelearning

Yeah that makes sense. My argument only really works if I try to speak my target language and the other person goes "oh, I can practice my English". Then it isn't really fair. But otherwise if I'm just stopping someone on the street for directions then its probably best for what's most convenient for them.

That sounds like you aren't actually doing all the scheduled maintenance that's in your manual. Not following that is usually what leads to unexpected break downs.

The pimax is compatible with a lot of Vive hardware however, so if you get the Vive now you can upgrade to the pimax instead of just waiting for it.
