Why space scientists wear special suits when setting out to space?

Astronauts were suits to protect them from the harsh conditions of outer space. In space, there is no air pressure, so without a suit to provide pressure the astronaut's blood would literally boil in a matter of seconds, causing a painful death. Direct exposure to sunlight too can be lethal, as well as exposure to the cold of space. A space suit insulates and protects against these things, and provides breathable air.
