Spacecrafts are made to withstand space by using different types of materials such as beryllium and tungsten to help withstand high melting temperatures. There are also subsystems that help withstand launch loads and solar panels to generate electrical power.

A spacecraft should be airtight because space is a vacuum, and a non-airtight spacecraft would vent atmosphere, making it impossible to breathe in the spacecraft.

Should I airtight or airlock my grape wine I have read some recipes online which shows that you can airtight for 21 days and airlock as well what should I do or which is better airlock or airtight?
