Who was the youngest womam astronaut ever to go out in space?

The youngest woman astronaut to go into space is Gherman Titov, who flew aboard Vostok 2 in 1961 at the age of 25. However, if you're specifically asking about a female astronaut, the title goes to Sally Ride, who flew on STS-7 in 1983 at the age of 32. As of now, the youngest woman to conduct a spacewalk is Jessica Meir, who did so in 2019 at the age of 41.


How would an astronaut aboard a space shuttle go about dropping an object down to earth?

The astronaut would release the object outside of the space shuttle and let it fall towards Earth due to gravity. The object would follow a trajectory back to Earth's surface without the need for further propulsion.


Would an person explode without a spacesuit in space?

Probably not, but it does look good in the movies! The skin is very elastic, and there's not enough air dissolved in the blood to cause an explosion. There is likely enough to kill the person due to air emboli. This is especially true if that person was breathing air with a high concentration of nitrogen gas in it. This is why astronauts preparing to go on a spacewalk will pre-breathe pure oxygen for ~an hour, to remove almost all of the nitrogen from their blood stream. If there should be a catastrophic loss of suit pressure, there would not be enough nitrogen gas dissolved in the blood to cause an embolus. Even without an embolus, the endangered astronaut would still need to get back into a pressurized vessel quickly if they are to survive.


Who was the last US astronaut to go to space alone?

The last US astronaut to go to space alone was John Young. He flew a solo mission aboard the Gemini 10 spacecraft on July 18, 1966.


When a 75 kg astronaut in space pushes against a 200 kg anvil what will happen when the astronaut lets go of the anvil while pushing it?

Since the anvil is more than twice as massive as the astronaut, the astronaut will move much more rapidly than the anvil, as they both move in opposite directions following the astronauts push. And chances are, the massive anvil with then collide with the astronaut's spacecraft, doing horrendous damage, and the foolish astronaut will then be unable to safely return to Earth. So when you are in outer space, be careful with your anvil. I wouldn't go throwing it around at random.

What might happen if an astronaut floating in space moved the north poles of two magnets together and let them go?

The result would be the same as on Earth (except in 3D). Something different would happen (i) if the astronaut let go of one magnet before the other or (ii) if there were two astronauts, with one magnet each. (In space, the astronaut could spin, as well (except much more slowly).)
