Space suits with air pumps.(that is not enough to last them the whole journey)

They bring large tanks of compressed air which has a high oxygen percentage (about 30%, rather than 27% normally)

They also carry boxes called air scrubbers which absorb the carbon dioxide in the air and convert part of it back into oxygen.

How do people breath in space if there is nothing to breath?

People cannot breathe in space because there is no atmosphere to provide the necessary oxygen to sustain life. Astronauts wear specially designed spacesuits that have their own oxygen supply, allowing them to breathe while outside a spacecraft. Inside the spacecraft, there is a controlled environment with supply of oxygen for the crew to breathe.


Why is a space suit important?

Because in space humans would quickly dehydrate and be unable to breath, because 'space' is a near vacuum. Vacuums don't like to be empty, and want to fill up. So they take anything from anywhere to fill the vacuum, and that included human breath and moisture. Without breath and moisture we would die instantaneously. Hence the Space Suit, which is impervious to the loss of moisture and air.
