when fluid reditributes in the body, it interferes with sinuses
no sinuses= no smell= no taste
Being able to smell the scent of food is what makes it tasty. Because of the low gravity in space, however, the scent of the food floats away before it reaches an astronaut's nose. Also, in space, liquid rises, and the mucus in an astronaut's nose rises, as well, giving the astronaut a permanently stuffed nose. Thus making astronauts unable to smell and therefore unable to taste the food they're eating.
astronauts like to exercise while in the ship
Space Adaptation Syndrome
no
In a zero gee environment (weightlessness), the Human Body almost immediately begins losing muscle and bone mass. If they did not exercise, Astronauts returning from Space after a long stay on the Space Station would be unable to walk, and would have to be in a wheelchair for weeks before they could learn to walk again.
Astronauts do not shower, they must sponge bath while they are in space.
Space suits: to protect astronauts from extreme temperatures, micrometeoroids, and provide oxygen. Extravehicular Mobility Units (EMUs): for spacewalks to enable astronauts to move and work outside the spacecraft. Tether systems: to keep astronauts connected to the spacecraft while working in space.
Astronauts can perform their space walk and move around as if nothing is happening while the space station is traveling at 17,500 miles per hour, because there is no gravity. This keeps them from feeling the fast speed.
Yes, astronauts wear specialized clothing while living and working inside the space station. They wear comfortable clothes for daily activities and special space suits for spacewalks or emergencies. These suits provide protection from extreme temperatures, radiation, and microgravity conditions.
No , but for astronauts visiting from other nations they do need passports to travel to the respective countries who are launching them into space e.g. the U.S. , Russia .
with bottles in the backpack of the astronaut. Actualy that was a stupid question...
No, a space station is a large artificial structure in space where astronauts live and work for extended periods of time, while a space shuttle is a spacecraft that is used to transport astronauts and cargo to and from space. Space shuttles have been retired by NASA, while space stations like the ISS are still operational.
