Astronauts

The first successful landing on the moon was conducted on July 20, 1969, by NASA's Apollo 11 mission. Astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to walk on the lunar surface during this historic event.

Yes, a planetary geologist can become an astronaut. NASA has selected astronauts with a variety of backgrounds, including geology, to participate in space missions. Training as an astronaut involves not only technical skills but also physical fitness and teamwork.

Yes, astronauts do wear deodorant in space to help manage body odor in the confined environment of a spacecraft. However, due to the lack of gravity, they use a special kind of deodorant that is often in the form of wipes or creams to prevent any particles from floating around in the spacecraft.

An astronaut needs proper nutrition, exercise, and sufficient rest each day to maintain their physical and mental health while in space. They also require a controlled environment with oxygen, water, and a safe living space to support their basic needs.

Astronauts minimize G-forces during blastoff by using specially designed seats that distribute the forces evenly across their bodies. Additionally, they undergo training to brace themselves and tense their muscles to help withstand the forces. The spacecraft's design also plays a role in minimizing G-forces by gradually accelerating and decelerating during launch and reentry.

They made it "to" the Moon in the sense they went all the way there, all the way around it, and all the way back.

However, the malfunction prevented them from landing, as they had been scheduled to do.

Christa McAuliffe, a school teacher, was in space on January 28, 1986 when the Space Shuttle Challenger broke apart shortly after liftoff. The tragic accident resulted in the loss of all crew members aboard, including McAuliffe.

The opposite of astronaut is typically considered to be "earthling." "Astronaut" refers to someone who travels and works in space, while "earthling" refers to someone who resides and belongs to Earth.

As of September 2021, John H. Glenn Jr. is the only surviving member of the original Mercury Seven astronauts.

Yuri Gagarin was the first human in space, and the second human in space was Gherman Titov, who orbited the Earth aboard Vostok 2 in August 1961.

There are various answers to this question.

1) The first person to fly in two spacecraft was Virgil "Gus" Grissom.

His first flight was on Mercury 4 on 21 July 1961 and his second was on Gemini 3 on 23 March 1965. Although he reached space on his first mission, this was a sub-orbital flight and he did not go into orbit, though he did so on his Gemini flight.

2) The first person to orbit the Earth on two flights was Gordon Cooper, who flew on Mercury 9 on 15 May 1963 and Gemini 5 on 21 August 1965.

3) However if we accept all space flights and not just orbital missions, as the question does not pose any specific limits, then the first person to return to space was Joe Walker, who flew the rocket-powered X-15 research aircraft above 100km (62 miles), which is the internationally agreed "boundary" of space, for the first time on Flight 90 on 19 July 1963 and on Flight 91 on 22 August 1963, before either Grissom or Cooper made their second flights.

Astronauts train for extravehicular activities (EVAs) by practicing in neutral buoyancy pools to simulate microgravity, completing virtual reality simulations, and studying procedures and equipment. They also undergo physical conditioning to prepare for the demands of working in space suits for several hours at a time. Communication and teamwork skills are also emphasized during training.

Seven astronauts died in the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster on January 28, 1986.

Astronauts survive on a space mission by bringing along everything they need, including food, water, oxygen, and a controlled environment within the spacecraft. The spacecraft provides protection from radiation, extreme temperatures, and microgravity. Additionally, astronauts undergo extensive training to prepare for the physical and psychological demands of space travel.

Neil Armstrong did not see any other planets during his Apollo 11 mission to the Moon in 1969. He only saw the Earth from space and the Moon up close. Armstrong's focus was on successfully completing the mission rather than observing other celestial bodies.

The space shuttles and ISS have special toilets for astronauts to use the restroom. The astronauts must be strapped to the toilet because of 0 gravity. When they are finished the feces are flushed out into the vacuum of space.

A total of 71 astronauts flew into space on Apollo missions. These astronauts were divided across the 17 Apollo missions that included manned flights.

Astronauts wear helmets or space suits, not hats, to provide protection in space from extreme temperatures, micrometeoroids, and radiation. The helmet also ensures they have a stable supply of oxygen and communication.

The first astronauts were called the Mercury 7 because they were the first group of astronauts selected for Project Mercury, the United States' first manned spaceflight program. The "7" refers to the seven original astronauts chosen by NASA.

Sally Ride's family was originally from California. Her parents were born in the state, and Sally herself was born in Los Angeles, California.

Astronauts wear special space suits called Extravehicular Mobility Units (EMUs) when they are in space. Inside the laboratory module of a spacecraft, astronauts typically wear comfortable clothing, similar to what you might wear at home or in an office. They may wear shirts, pants, and socks while working in the laboratory module.

"Alan B. Shepard Jr." is a song by They Might Be Giants that pays tribute to the astronaut Alan Shepard for being the first American in space. The song highlights his historic space journey and the admiration for his bravery and achievements in outer space.

• astronauts eat normal food in space. Almost all food is dried for less weight. Water is added to package before heating food. Astronauts have to hold food, so that it doesn't fly away. Knives and Forks are magnetized to the tray, so that it doesn't fly away.

Astronauts appear to be floating in a spaceship because they are in a state of constant free fall around the Earth. This creates an environment of microgravity, where they experience weightlessness. Gravity continues to pull on them and the spaceship, but both are falling at the same rate, creating the appearance of floating.
