When astronauts travel in space they must wear special helmets. Why?
The helmets are part of their space suits. They do not normally wear space suits unless they are going outside the spacecraft. Since there is no air outside and it can be very cold or hot. They need the suits to breathe and to protect them from the heat or cold and the vacuum of space which would kill them.
Why did astronauts have wear special suits?
The suits that the Apollo astronauts wore were not particularly shiny. They were white and reflected the sun's light and heat. The Mercury program astronauts did wear shiny pressure suits made of aluminium-coated nylon, to provide thermal and pressurization protection. They did not, however, go to the moon as their flights were sub-orbital and low-earth orbital.
Do astronauts have to wear their space suits all the time?
No only in space. Two reasons first space is almost zero kelvin and they would die instantaneously and second there is no air in space. while inside the shuttle or whatever there staying in there is air bathrooms food water and above all its not almost zero kelvin.

Why do astronauts have to wear bunny suits when working on instruments in space?
They need air and an atmospheric pressurized environment.
Why space men wear special pressurized suites?
As there is no air out there they have to wear these preassigned suits to adjust to weightlessness and when they return the sudden change will cause problems.
Does air move in space?
if there was air in space space men would not need suits and oxygen
Why are oxygen tanks and space suits needed to explore in space?
Oxygen tanks and space suits are needed for space exploration because there is no air in space and anyone there without suitable coverings and sources of oxygen would quickly die.
How people breath in a space shuttle?

Is there little air to breath on the moon at all?
There is not even a little air to breathe on the moon. There is no oxygen at all. This is why astronauts must wear space suits with self contained breathing equipment.
