I believe the answer is:

anti-g

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'preparation for space travel?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'article on children's game' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'article' could be 'an' (indefinite article) and 'an' is found within the answer.
'game' could be 'tig' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'tig' is located in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'as' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for anti-g that I've seen is " Designed to reduce effects of high acceleration".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
