How many astronauts are in space?
Approximately 463 astronauts have been to space, but usually there are only three at once - the astronauts on the International Space Station. When the shuttle is on a mission there are a total of ten or eleven people in space.
From which university have the most astronauts graduated?
The US Naval Academy has graduated 51 astronauts. See the following link: http://www.usna.edu/admissions/Notables/Astronauts/index.htm
What do astronauts do?
Astronauts or Cosmonauts are people who are trained by human flight translators to travel to space. The name astronautusually refers to a professional but is actually any person who travels to space. This can be anything from a tourist to a politician. Yes I know this sounds detailed but I am pretty smart for a 14 year old.

How did Sharon Christa Mcauliffe's space shuttle blow up?
See: how did the astronauts die in the Challenger disaster.
Can astronauts on shuttle see stars?
um, yeah, since there's kinda stars everywhere in space, i'd bet a good amount of money they saw some stars
Can you see the shuttle in space?
You can not see the space shuttle on Earth, but you can see it in a rocket!
What can astronauts see in space?
Astronauts can see planets, stars, and species.
Why do astronauts float around in the shuttle instead of falling?
They are falling ! As you see them on TV floating around in the shuttle (or outside it), they are falling towards the earth. So is the shuttle, at exactly the same acceleration, which is why they seem to hover in mid-air; they are moving exactly in time with the shuttle. In fact, shuttle and astronauts are both moving; pretty fast, too, around 18,000 mph. And that is the big secret as to why they don't crash to earth. They are falling towards the earth's surface, but the surface of the earth is curved. Because they are travelling around the earth, it's surface is receding from them, and it just happens to be moving away at the same rate as the shuttle (and contents) are falling towards it. This is called an orbit, and it doesn't really "just happen"; the engineers who program the launch vehicle take some trouble to get the final velocity just right to achieve the orbit that they want.
We see astronauts floating in space but not on earth.why?

What category does the underlined word fit I have seldom seen a more beautiful sunrise.?
The underlined word "seldom" is an adverb of frequency, indicating that the speaker does not often see a more beautiful sunrise.
How many times per day do astronauts see the sunrise from ISS?
Astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) experience about 16 sunrises and sunsets each day due to the station's orbit around the Earth. This is because the ISS orbits the Earth approximately every 90 minutes.
Can you see a sunset on the moon?
You probably can, if you can see a sunrise!!
What US coast sees sunrise first?
The east coast see sunrise first.
Space shuttle sleeping area what do's it look like?
I couldn't find a good picture of the sleeping quarters, because they are sort of a cubicle it's difficult to see into. But, click on the related link below to see and example. ~ I am Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Edit To Add: Actually, the photo in the first (I am Jim's) link is of a crew cabin/sleep cubicle on the ISS (space station). The space shuttle astronauts use sleeping bags that are attached to the wall of the shuttle mid-deck. Cut and paste this url: http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/living/spacesleep/index.html Or click the second link below: "Sleep in Space" to see photos of each. ~ WH9
Does gravity effect astronauts in space shuttle?
Yes, it affects all objects in space (and all objects have a gravity of their own, that grows with size/"weight"). The reason why people talk about "zero gravity" in the space station and shuttle is because both the shuttle and the people inside it are affected by the same amount of gravity, so relatively they are falling at the same rate. Hence people inside the shuttle will not be moving towards the edge of the shuttle due to gravity. Take a football (the shuttle) and a tennis ball (some people) and hold them at the same distance from the ground and then release them (withuot adding any force, just let go). You will see that both objects will be affected by gravity, but relatively the tennis ball and the football are moving at the same speed. Now imagine that the tennis ball was inside the football and voilá, you have the shuttle scenario. Obviously the space shuttle is not falling directly towards the earth, it is actually "falling past it" - something that scientists call "orbit".
