Why is it advantageous for astronauts to live on a space station rather than a space shuttle?
it is advantageous for astronauts to live on a space station rather a space shuttle because a space station allow astronauts to stay and work extended time . A space shuttle is a space craft to transport astronauts , satellites, and other materials to and from space.
What are advantages of conducting experiments from a space station rather than a space shuttle?
The primary advantage of the station vs. the shuttle is the length of time the experiment is in orbit. The shuttle was only able to stay in orbit up to 17 days and then it had to return, whereas the station can devote the majority of it's time to the experiment for up to years instead of 2 weeks. The shuttle had the advantage of being able to take many experiments, large experiments and lots of hardware with them and then bring them home for the researchers to obtain their results. So the station & shuttle had their pros & cons.
Why is the International Space Station being constructed in space rather than on Earth's surface?
a) because we'd argue over which country it was built in b) so astronauts can conduct long term experiments in zero gravity The entire point of it is that it's in SPACE!!!!
How do Mea Jemison look like?
She is rather tall. You can see a picture of her with NASA since she was with the shuttle program as a scientist.
Disadvantages of space shuttle?
The space shuttle was the result of committee compromise and political expediency. It was never the best design. It takes off like a rocket (and blows up like one on occasion) and lands like a plane (or rather, it lands like a brick with control surfaces).

Why is it that when in a space shuttle with no gravity the people in the shuttle move with the shuttle?
The astronauts and the shuttle are in the same inertial frame of reference, and are accelerated to orbit within said frame of reference. Try dribbling a basketball when you're on a bus or train and notice that the ball doesn't go flying back, but rather you can dribble it just fine even though the train / bus is moving. Also, when the shuttle is in orbit, it's not really in a zero-g environment (although it's often called such), but rather a microgravity environment.

never

When space shuttle challenger exploded were all astronauts kill at that time or did any survive the fall into the water and died then?
All seven astronauts aboard the space shuttle Challenger died when it exploded shortly after launch on January 28, 1986. There were no survivors from the explosion or the subsequent impact with the water.
What jobs or tasks do astronauts do in space?
They eat and stuff :) ++++ No, that answer was not "useful". In a space-shuttle itself, they can do no more than fly it to the Space Station or back to Earth - rather as its name implies. Once in the Space Station most of their working time is spent in performing various scientific experiments and measurements.

Why do astronauts use calculus?
Because they normally do wish to return to their homes and families - rather than float through space forever.
Do astronauts visit planets?
No, not yet at least. The only object that astronauts have been to other than Earth is the moon, which is a moon rather than a planet. There other planets are much farther away, but there are some plans to land people on Mars.
