You don't need gravity to survive, at least not in the short term.
The lack of gravity is a problem in the long term, though: Muscle and bone gets weaker - the body finds that it doesn't actually need all this muscle and bone when there is no gravity to fight, so it gets rid of it.
NASA is doing research on how to avoid this, for longer trips in the future. See for example related link on "pillownauts".
What else can I help you with?
How would you manage the lack of the gravity on the moon?
On the moon, you could manage the lack of gravity by using specially designed equipment like tethers, hooks, or Velcro to secure yourself and objects in place. Astronauts also wear weighted suits to help them feel a sense of weight and stability. Additionally, adapting to the low-gravity environment through training and techniques like jumping to move around efficiently can help manage the challenges of working in a low-gravity environment.
Is it true cancer does not develop in space?
There is no evidence to suggest that cancer cannot develop in space. Exposure to space radiation, lack of gravity, and other factors could potentially impact cancer development, but research on this topic is ongoing. Astronauts are monitored closely for cancer and other health issues after returning from space missions.
What is gravity distortion?
Gravity bends space, and because light travels through space gravity distorts light. Actually, gravity warps spacetime, so just as space is bent, so is time. Gravity thus distorts both space and time.
In space what color is your blood?
In space, your blood is still red. The lack of gravity does not change the color of your blood. However, in a weightless environment, blood may behave differently due to changes in circulation.
Can you do sumersaults in space?
Yes, astronauts can perform somersaults in space due to the lack of gravity affecting their movements. In microgravity conditions, their bodies can easily rotate and perform maneuvers like somersaults.
How do you manage the lack of gravity on Mars?
Mars HAS gravity. It's 3.711 m/s², which is about 38% of Earth's.
How human begins in space are affected by the lack of gravity?
Humans may get weak in a lack of gravity situation, due to the lack of use of certain muscles.
Why people do not fall of earth while astronomers float in space?
Gravity on earth lack of it in space
why is it bad for humans to travel to space?
The lack of gravity and exposure to artificial gravity severely weakens bones.
What do astronauts do for their food on space?
It comes in tubes in order to cope with lack of gravity.
Does gravity strengthen or weaken during motion?
Unless it manage to reach the space, it is generally the same...
In what ways do you think the lack of gravity facilitated the astronaut's work on the space ship?
kmh
What are all objects in space constantly doing?
Objects in space are always Floating and/or orbiting a larger object because of the lack of gravity in space.
Can you nail a board in space?
You can indeed nail a board in space. This act is incredibly difficult due to the lack of gravity though.
Would spreadshot ever stop spreading in space?
It would not stop spreading in space, because of lack of gravity and wind resistance.
What is the relationship between the moon surface gravity lack of atmosphere and temperature range?
The Moon's gravity causes the lack of atmosphere (any possible atmosphere evaporates out into space in a fairly short time); and the lack of atmosphere causes the extreme temperatures.
What is the relationship between the moon and surface gravity lack of atmosphere and temperature range?
The Moon's gravity causes the lack of atmosphere (any possible atmosphere evaporates out into space in a fairly short time); and the lack of atmosphere causes the extreme temperatures.
