Every individual who has been launched into space so far ... whether into earth orbit or to the moon ... has been burdened by the same habit: the need to breathe. Since there is no air outside the earth's atmosphere, they must either break the habit or else keep their own supply always handy. Every astronaut so far has chosen the second option, and NASA has provided them with the means to carry enough air or pure oxygen to get them through.
What else can I help you with?
Do they wear suits when they go to space because there is no air?
Space suits are worn to protect astronauts not only from the lack of air, but also from cold.
How do astronauts make their own water?
Astronauts have to rely on their spacecraft to make the air for them. This is done on the space shuttle by two tanks each of liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen. These are automatically mixed and pressurized by the cabin pressurization system to resemble what we breathe on Earth.they also use a air mask. CaRrOtS!
Why can't astronauts burp?
Because in microgravity the air bubbles in the soda container remain at the bottom of the drink. The astronauts never swallow any of the air, therefore no burbing.
Can astronauts speak in space?
Yes, astronauts talk in space, as they always have acess to oxygen.(using radios)
What was the name of the show about two astronauts that go back in time to caveman days?
The name of the show that featured two time traveling astronauts landing in caveman days was 'It's About Time'. It was on the air from 1966 to 1967 and featured a cave woman Imogen Coca.
How do astronauts change their clothes?
They simply change there clothes! The astronauts don't always have the space suits on! That's only when they actually go into space. When there in a space station or rocket they have air tanks that replenish the air in the rocket and an air pressure controller.
How do astronauts breathe in space?
Astronauts carry air tanks with them that contain mostly pressurized oxygen and nitrogen. Their suits circulate the air to their helmets and throughout their entire suit so that they can breathe.They breath threw oxygen tanks tied to their backs. If an astronaut was to take it off and try to breath, he/she would start to choke and die.
Where did the astronauts on the moon obtain air and water?
The astronauts on the moon obtained air from their spacesuits, which were equipped with oxygen tanks. They brought their own water supplies with them from Earth, which they used for drinking and other needs during their missions on the moon.
Why do astronauts have to wear bunny suits when working on instruments in space?
They need air and an atmospheric pressurized environment.
What do astronauts into space to breath?
Space suits with air pumps.(that is not enough to last them the whole journey) They bring large tanks of compressed air which has a high oxygen percentage (about 30%, rather than 27% normally) They also carry boxes called air scrubbers which absorb the carbon dioxide in the air and convert part of it back into oxygen.
Do they wear suits when they go to space because there is no air?
Space suits are worn to protect astronauts not only from the lack of air, but also from cold.
Why were air tanks invented?
Air tanks were invented to hold compressed air.
How does the space suit backpack help astronauts in a space environment breathe?
The space suit backpack is called the Portable Life Support System (PLSS) and contains oxygen tanks, a ventilation system, and filters to provide astronauts with breathable air. The PLSS also regulates temperature and removes carbon dioxide from the astronaut's exhaled air, ensuring they have a constant supply of fresh oxygen while in space.
How do astronauts survive without oxygen?
Astronauts cannot survive without oxygen; they rely on life support systems in their spacecraft or space suits to provide a continuous supply of breathable air. These systems use tanks of compressed oxygen and can also recycle carbon dioxide exhaled by astronauts. In emergencies, astronauts can use backup oxygen supplies to ensure they have enough air to breathe. Without these systems, they would quickly suffocate in the vacuum of space.
How do astronauts make their own water?
Astronauts have to rely on their spacecraft to make the air for them. This is done on the space shuttle by two tanks each of liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen.

What are air tanks?
Air tanks come from russian bollets made from solfer umonier
What helps a diver breath?
Divers wear tanks full of oxygen to help them breathe while they are under water. When the tanks start to get empty, they resurface.
