Spacecraft need to be pressurized to provide a breathable environment for astronauts. Without pressure, the fluids in the body would boil due to the low pressure, which is harmful to human health. Pressurization also keeps the spacecraft's structural integrity by maintaining a stable internal pressure against the vacuum of space.

Why is spacecraft pressurized?

Spacecraft are pressurized to maintain a habitable environment for humans and sensitive equipment inside. Pressurization provides a stable atmosphere with proper levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide for breathing, and also helps to regulate temperature and humidity. It also protects against the vacuum of space, which could cause fluids to boil and have negative effects on electronics.


Do astronauts have have to wear the space suits all the time?

No, they only have to wear these when outside the pressurized environment of the spacecraft or during periods when the spacecraft may become compromised.

How does a astronauts eat with their space suits?

They have to be in a pressurized capsule, and remove their helmets in order to eat. Alternatively, they could raise their face shield, but they would still need to be in a pressurized capsule.


How long a time could you live on the Moon?

Humans could only survive on the Moon in spacecraft-like pressurized habitats, and almost everything you would need would have to be carried there from Earth. The lunar environment would provide power, heat, likely a source of water, and possibly materials to produce rocket fuel.
