It takes around 5-7 years for someone to become an astronaut. And this is after they already have college degrees and engineering or science experience.

Will an astronaut on a space walk outside the space station quickly float away from the station unless they have a tether holding them to the station or constantly fire thrusters on their space suit?
False. The astronaut will stay in orbit with the space station on less some force acts on him or her.
Why do foot print tracks left by astronauts stay on the moon?
No wind, rain, or people to disturb them, just empty space.
Why do you think it is important to swap astronauts that will live on the iss?
The reason why astronauts stay for only a few months on the International Space Station (ISS) is because of health. The prolonged weightlessness makes muscles and bones deteriorate. The ISS has special treadmills installed on it to help combat these effects but the bones and muscles still deteriorate. These negative effects are a major issue hindering the feasibility of traveling to Mars and beyond.

What is the difference between space stations and space shuttles?
A space shuttle is the ship in which theastronauts use to get to the space station The space station is where the astronauts typically go to refuel and to stay when they r on a long mission.

What are facts about the first space station?
Some facts are- It is used for astronauts to stay in space for a long period of time -Used for longer research -that maybe someday people could live on the moon
The Space Station is different than a space shuttle and a space probe but how?
The International Space Station was assembled in space and is designed to stay there. It is meant as a place of research and as a place for astronauts to stay in space. A space shuttle is a vehicle that can lauch from Earth into space and then return, something a space station cannot do. Space shuttles transport people and equipment to and from space.
Why do astronauts need to exercise while they are in the space station?
In a zero gee environment (weightlessness), the Human Body almost immediately begins losing muscle and bone mass. If they did not exercise, Astronauts returning from Space after a long stay on the Space Station would be unable to walk, and would have to be in a wheelchair for weeks before they could learn to walk again.
How long can astronauts survive in space?
No one knows, but typically astronauts do not stay in space for more than 1 year. Otherwise, the zero gravity will degrade their bones and muscles
How long will the 3 men stay in the space station?
100 years
Why do astronauts use ear thermometers?
so they don't stay out in space, out of space craft for too long otherwise they will get hypothermia and frostbite.
How will you make sure you will stay in bed while sleeping if there is no gravity?
You will tie your shoelaces to the bedpost, or, as astronauts do in the International Space Station, strap yourself to the bed.
