How does the space suit backpack help astronauts breathe in space environment?

In space, people call it a vacuum because there is no way you can breath because the are no oxygen molecules in space for you to breath. That is where the backpack comes in. The bag is a place where it holds all the air for you to breath, there is a limited amount of time for you to breath because you are inhaling good air and releasing bad air. If you keep breathing the bad air, you can die from breathing you bad air (carbon dioxide) too much. Th backpack holds the air for you, it is just like an air tank you use for swimming. Have you ever seen in shows how some people use the paper bag to breathe when they are nervous and sometimes they faint? That happens because of one of two reasons. They were breathing too fast (it can happen) or because they are breathing there air too much.

What is the main issue about staying in space too long?

The main issue with staying in space too long is the detrimental effects of prolonged exposure to microgravity on the human body. This includes muscle atrophy, bone density loss, and changes in fluid distribution, which can lead to cardiovascular problems. Additionally, extended space missions expose astronauts to higher levels of cosmic radiation, increasing the risk of cancer and other health issues. Psychological challenges, such as isolation and confinement, can also impact mental well-being during long-duration missions.


What happens when there is too much space junk in space?

When there is too much space junk in space, it increases the risk of collisions with active satellites, spacecraft, and the International Space Station. These collisions can create more debris and further exacerbate the problem in a cascading effect known as the Kessler Syndrome. This can threaten future space missions and the sustainability of activities in space.


How long can a human stay in space?

There is currently no specific limit to how long a human can stay in space. Astronauts have spent up to a year on the International Space Station, but long-term effects on the body are still being studied. Extended stays in space can lead to muscle atrophy, bone density loss, and other health concerns.
