How do you get into space on the Sims 3?

If your Sims join the military career and get as far as level 10, then they will be an astronaut. I recommend that they master the handiness skill before they join this career so then you can focus on friendships rather than on skills. To get straight to level 10, hold ctrl shift c and type " testingcheatsenabled true" without the quotation marks. then find your own letter box and hold shift and click on it. Click "set career" or something like that and find "military". Then click "astronaut". You are now an astronaut.

Yes, it is true that an astronaut in space will float away without a tether or thrusters to hold her in place. In the microgravity environment of space, objects and people will continue in their current trajectory unless acted upon by an external force. The astronaut needs to be tethered to the space station or use thrusters in her space suit to prevent drifting away.
