Apollo 1- a launch pad test resulted in a fire in the space capsule exacerbated by the fact that, at that time, NASA had a high oxygen atmosphere in space capsules, which greatly intensified the fire. The 3 astronauts in the capsule were killed, Grissom, White and Chaffee.They were the only Astronauts lost in the Apollo program.
Can astronauts die if they get hit by space junk...and can we die if we go off into space and get hit by space junk?
If they ever were that unfortunate, a tiny tear in a space suit could kill you almost instantly. That and the fact that space junk travels an average of 36,000 kmph (Kilometers per hour).
Why should the astronauts use a spacesuits and helmet while walking in the space?
Astronauts wear spacesuits due to the absence of pressure in space. They need to maintain the pressure level on Earth by isolating themselves from actual space. For the helmets: there is no oxygen in space. Humans require oxygen to live, inhaling it through their nose and mouth. Therefore if they do not wear helmets, they will die instantly from loss of oxygen.
Do astronauts require less or more sleep while they are in space?
Astronauts require less sleep than normal; Theoretically because the astronauts always have to be alert in a dangerous setting like space.
Why do astronauts need a space helmet?
They will die. There appears to be some question as to whether they will freeze to death or if they would explode from the internal body pressure.

What was the first space mission that had people die in it?
The Soviet Union may have lost several astronauts in flight in the 1960's and early '70's.

And even then, they would sometimes lie about details. The first American astronauts to die during a space mission were the crew of the Challenger space shuttle.

Why do they where space suits in space?
in space. Nevermind, the astronauts wear space suits because otherwise they would die due to the Sun's radiation and the extremely low temperatures in space. And because there isn't air in space.

Why have astronauts only been on the moon?
It is the only one close enough to the Earth. The weight of the equipment for the longer journeys is not yet capable of being launched into space. It is a large and riskful mission. Scientist have made special gear so they wont die. Also because they have been to school and have studied about the moon and outer space.
