The ways that the I.S.S. mimics (imitates) conditions on Earth is that they have to eat, drink, and sleep. They also have to routinely clean the I.S.S. also they must keep in good physical and hygienic condition by using wet wipes and exercising.

What is the difference between the suns nuclear reactions and man made ones?

The sun's nuclear reactions are based on fusion of atoms (hydrogen atoms are fused together to form helium or lithium mainly) whereas earth-bound nuclear reactions are based on fission (uranium atoms are smashed apart to form (often radioactive) fragments and energy) There has been research on earth-bound nuclear fusion for many years (JET project in the UK) and ITER, but there is still a long way to go before we can mimic the sun!


What Onomatopoeia words describe the moon?

The moon is silent, therefore there are really no onomatopoetic words which describe the moon. Onomatopoeia is a literary device in which the sound of the words being used mimic the sound of the object or action being described.


What does the sunrise alarm clock do differently?

Sunrise alarm clocks are meant to wake a person up more gently. These sunrise alarm clocks mimic a sun rise and are typically able to be set to 20 different brightnesses of light.


How do spacemen sleep in space?

Spacecraft like the International Space Station have pressurized cabins and are filled with the same kind of air we breathe on Earth, so the atmosphere onboard is made to feel as close to sea level as possible. But microgravity causes astronauts to experience the effects of weightlessness, so setting up a mattress on the floor isn't quite a part of the plan -- not only would the astronaut float away after dozing off, but the mattress would also drift off, creating the potential for midair collisions. This means that astronauts can sleep practically anywhere in a spacecraft, as long as they tether themselves to something: the floor, the walls or the ceiling. While some astronauts, such as Canada'sfirst astronaut Marc Garneau, prefer to sleep "free floating," which simply consists of curling up and going to sleep, most others use sleeping bags to mimic the way we sleep on Earth. A free floater would bounce around and flail his or her limbs around, so a sleeping bag keeps everything nice, cozy and normal. Astronauts sleeping during space shuttle missions normally strap themselves into seats or attach sleeping bags to the walls, and they'll avoid the cockpit since light from the sun can cause the area to heat up significantly and make slumber uncomfortable. ISS astronauts, on the other hand, have personal sleeping compartments in the Russian Zvezda Service Module, the current living quarters for the crew. Tiny closets are set into the 43 foot (13.1 meter) long module, where astronauts hang a sleeping bag and keep a pillow, light source, air vent and any personal belongings like books or family photos with them. Pillows, of course, need to be strapped to astronauts' heads during sleep so they don't float away. There are only two compartments on the Zvezda, so when three astronauts are onboard, someone has to stake out a personal space elsewhere throughout the ISS. For example, Susan Helms slept on the opposite side of the ISS in the U.S. Destiny Laboratory Module during her stay.


How did you land on the moon and why cant we land there again?

The rockets required to lift a spacecraft able to make a moon landing off of the earth are very different than the rockets required to lift the Space Shuttle, and even satellites, into Low Earth Orbit. The technology to rebuild the Saturn V rockets used during the Apollo missions still exists, however, the infrastructure that existed during that time no longer does. We stopped building the rockets, so there was no reason to keep the tooling and construction supplies. Today, when it's said that we "do not have the ability to go to the moon" it's because the rockets that are currently being built are not designed to go to the moon. When the Constellation program started, the purpose was not to simply recreate the Saturn V and mimic the Apollo program. NASA intended to lift significantly heavier space- and landing-craft, with the ability to carry up to 7 crew members to the moon, and stay there for a week. This was a drastic increase in the weight and technology requirements over the Apollo program. Simply said, the technology that was invented in the mid 60's and used to send three men to the moon and keep two of them alive on the surface for three days no longer applied. We had to reinvent the whole platform, using modern techniques and modern materials. We do have the technology to land on the moon today, but the extreme cost of the project and the limited scientific benefit makes it a project that will likely not be repeated for some time. We may land on Mars before we land on the moon again!
