Food, water, and oxygen, same as on Earth. Temperature control... the PLSS backpacks the Apollo astronauts wore had a sort of high-tech swamp cooler built in. For long lengths of time, radiation becomes a factor. Most radiation in space can be blocked by a spaceship hull, a spacesuit, a few sheets of newspaper, or for that matter, the outer dead layer of the astronaut's skin. But if he is there for say, months, he will be needing better protection. The Apollo astronauts all took less than one rem of radiation exposure on their 9 or 10 day voyage. That's about 1/400 or 1/500 of a lethal dose. If they had stayed, for example, in the thick of the Van Allen radiation belt for a month, they'd probably have been goners. Instead, they zipped through the thin outer edge of it in about an hour. And yet you hear yapping from deliberately uninformed hoaxbuffs who believe Apollo was impossible because they'd have needed six feet of lead for protection!!

their space suits must be pressure controlled and they have oxygen tanks to breath in air for sure

Is survival in the genes?

The process of evolution tends to produce organisms whose genes contribute to the survival of the organism. If an organism has genes which impede or prevent survival, then the organism is less likely to survive. A species with such genetics would die out.
