Are colors more vibrant? Is vision improved when you are outside the atmosphere? Are images sharper?
Thank you for this mission, It is a vicarious adventure for me.

Can you use the Jedi mind trick in space ??? Or does the radiation from the sun blunt it's power???

Please go to NASA's Human Spaceflight Site and click on the link to "Ask an Astronaut". The site has all sorts of neat astronaut info.

On re-entry day the astronauts get dressed in their orange space suits and get suited into their respective seats (four on the flight deck, three in the mid deck). When ready to de-orbit, the shuttle flies tail-first and bay to earth. They then close the Bay Doors, and fire the big OMS engines, which marks the end of zero-G for the crew. The strong retro burn slows the shuttle down, dropping it out of earth's orbit. They then do a pitch maneuver which brings them head first, and bay to space. They fly this attitude to landing.

As they land, the G forces start building, and there will be a bright glow from the windows. The cabin gets warm from the heat of re-entry, and there may be turbulence like an airliner.
