How is the spacesuit designed to protect the astronaut outside of a spacecraft?
A spacesuit contains air under pressure to protect from the vacuum in space. It must be designed with a compromise of rigidity and flexibility, so that it does not inflate like a balloon (preventing him from reentering the spacecraft) and allowing him to move and perform tasks.
Why is a rip in the spacesuit is so dangerous?
The oxygen that the astronaut is breathing escapes through that rip (because there is no oxygen outside of the spacesuit, diffusion makes the oxygen spread outside of the spacesuit), and eventually the astronaut dies of oxygen deprivation.the temperature helps to kill the astronaut as well.
Suppose you were assigned to design a spacesuit for astronauts to wear on the moon what question about the moon would you need to have answered in order to design the spacesuit?
Temperature, atmospheric pressure, gravity.
How much does a spacesuit cost?
A standard flight-rated NASA spacesuit costs about $12,000,000.
What would happen if a flying piece of debris ripped a hole in a spacesuit?
The spacesuit would depressurize, leaving the person inside the spacesuit (if there is one) no oxygen to breathe, leading to their death.

Why can't you go outside without a spacesuit on planet Saturn?
There is no oxygen you would die.
Would you able to go outside without a spacesuit in Pluto?
No because Pluto doesn't have any oxygen.
What is the origin of spacesuit?
The origin of a spacesuit is the David Clark Company.
How do you spell spacesuit?
That is the correct spelling of the compound noun "spacesuit."

How do astronauts go outside of the ship?
Hey there, good question. Lets see if I can make it easy for you. If you need more from this answer just put it on my board. Here it goes. The astronauts wear a spacesuit to go out into space with a supply or air and water. But first, they enter an airlock. That is a compartment that has a door to the inside and a door to the outside of the ship. This is what allows them to exit safely. The inside door opens and they get into the airlock. It then closes and the air gets pumped out or "evacuated" from the airlock. Once the air is gone, the outer door opens and they can float outside into space. The airlock's purpose is to have and equal pressure between the two environments before moving from the pressurised cabin to the unpressurized void outside the ship. They return into the ship in just the opposite manner. The astronaut(s) enter the airlock, which is already a vacuum, close the door and wait until the pressure is matched to the ship's internal pressure. Then they just open the interior door and walk in and get out of that bulky spacesuit...
Does Mars planet has an atmosphere?
Yes it does. It is only 1 % as thick as ours. You could not withstand the low pressure or lack of oxygen without a spacesuit however.
What would happen if a flying piece of debris ripped a hole in a spacesuit?
The spacesuit would depressurize, leaving the person inside the spacesuit (if there is one) no oxygen to breathe, leading to their death.
