What do astronauts do to train to go to the moon?
They have to train to get used to weightlessness , and get over travel sickness as well, and the instruments as well.
How do astronauts train for zero-gravity?
Using the Vomit Comet to experience moments of temporary weightlessness.
What is the original meaning of astronauts?
ASTRONAUTS=is person that train walking in the space
Describe the conditions under which astronauts train weightness in space?
I'm uncertain what the question means. Astronauts do not normally 'train' while in space. They train in preparation for space. Assuming that is what the question means: There are two ways astronauts train for weightlessness. Neither is satisfactory. * They train it a place called the WIF or Water Immersion Facility. You can think of this as a swimming pool where the astronauts and the equipment they handle are made neutrally buoyant. That is, heavy or light material is attached so they neither float nor sink in water, but remain suspended in the water. The resistance of the water on movement and the fact that your internal organs still feel the pull of gravity limit it's value for simulating weightlessness in space. * They ride on an airplane that makes zero-g parabolic flights (visit link below). The airplane (called variously, the Vomit Comet, the Weightless Wonder, etc.) climes to a peak then allows itself to fall for about 30 seconds. When you are falling you are weightless, so this accurately simulates the weightlessness of space. But, but the short periods and the high forces when the plane pulls out of the fall make it of limited value for training.
How do Astronauts train for space?
they go in water and fix things
What kind of machines are astronauts trained on to simulate being in space?
They use centrifical force machines to duplicate high G-forces. They train underwater to simulate weightlessness.
How could working underwater help astronauts practice being in space?
Because if weighted properly, they can be neutrally boyant. In other words, they're as close to weightless as they can get on earth. The astronauts train underwater to give them a sense of what its like to do their task while weightless and also to practice the peocedures required for their task. The first astronaut to take advantage was Buzz Aldrin when he trained for his Gemini 12 mission. Aldrin was and is still an avid scuba diver. He noticed the similarity between water and space. His succees on Gemin 12 made underwater training the norm for all astronaut extravehicular training.

Where do astronauts?
They mostly train in Swimming Pools, thousands of feet underwater.

Why should astronauts train in the vomit comet?
The Modified B-707 (or K/C-135) used for low gravity training, (astronauts, etc.). It flew a paraboloic curve that simulated weightlessness.

Why do astronauts train before going to space?
To be prepared because everything is different in space.
Why is it important for astronauts to train in vomit comet before gooing into space?
Astronaut candidates do "parabolic training" on a plane nicknamed the "Vomit Comet" (due to its tendency to induce motion sickness in passengers) so that they can experience weightlessness before being launched into space. If a potential astronauts is found to not be able to handle weightlessness, it's better to find that out before they actually get sent there for a long period of time. Also, weightless training gives them experience in how objects behave in zero-gee, so it's not a surprise when they get there.
Do astronauts do any jobs on the international space station?
it depends on what they train to do
