You don't need gravity to survive, at least not in the short term.
The lack of gravity is a problem in the long term, though: Muscle and bone gets weaker - the body finds that it doesn't actually need all this muscle and bone when there is no gravity to fight, so it gets rid of it.
NASA is doing research on how to avoid this, for longer trips in the future. See for example related link on "pillownauts".

∙ 13y agoMe? I manage it by not going to space.
Astronauts, when outside their spacecraft, manage it by staying tethered to their spacecraft by a lifeline.
Inside their life is very different. One thing, they can't shower because the water will be everywhere, so they have to use this vacuum thing, to clean off all the dirt from their bodies. Drinks are packaged as dehydrated powders. The astronauts add water to beverages through a special tube before drinking. Foods are either partially or completely dehydrated to prevent them from spoiling. Meats are exposed to radiation before they are put onboard the shuttle to give them a longer shelf life.

How would you manage the lack of the gravity on the moon?
The moon does have gravity, it is just a fraction of what it is on Earth. Astronauts on the moon have found that the low gravity makes it difficult to walk. It is easier to move by jumping.
Is it true cancer does not develop in space?
I see no reason why it shouldn't develop in space. Apart from the lack of gravity - which seems irrelevant in this case - outer space is not much different from here.
What happens to two pieces of metal if they touch in space?
When two pieces of metal touch in space, they become PERMANENTLY stuck together. This happens because of the lack of gravity in space
What is gravity distortion?
Gravity bends space, and because light travels through space gravity distorts light. Actually, gravity warps spacetime, so just as space is bent, so is time. Gravity thus distorts both space and time.
Does space have more or less gravity than earth?
Space has no gravity. Gravity needs a mass to exist, and it is relative to other neighbouring masses.
How do astronauts overcome gravity in space?
In space, there is no gravity to overcome. The chllenge to astronauts is how to deal with the lack of gravity.
How do you manage the lack of gravity on Mars?
Mars HAS gravity. It's 3.711 m/s², which is about 38% of Earth's.
Why you do not walk in space?
You can not walk in space because of lack of friction and gravity.
How human begins in space are affected by the lack of gravity?
Humans may get weak in a lack of gravity situation, due to the lack of use of certain muscles.
Why people do not fall of earth while astronomers float in space?
Gravity on earth lack of it in space
why is it bad for humans to travel to space?
The lack of gravity and exposure to artificial gravity severely weakens bones.
What do astronauts do for their food on space?
It comes in tubes in order to cope with lack of gravity.
How would you manage the lack of the gravity on the moon?
The moon does have gravity, it is just a fraction of what it is on Earth. Astronauts on the moon have found that the low gravity makes it difficult to walk. It is easier to move by jumping.
Does gravity strengthen or weaken during motion?
Unless it manage to reach the space, it is generally the same...
In what ways do you think the lack of gravity facilitated the astronaut's work on the space ship?
kmh
What are all objects in space constantly doing?
Objects in space are always Floating and/or orbiting a larger object because of the lack of gravity in space.
A friend says that astronauts in orbit are weightless because they're beyond the pull of earth's gravity correct your friend's ignorance?
Astronauts are weightless in space because there is no gravity in space. The lack of gravity is what allows them to float.
