Astronauts

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.

Well first the equipment. If there is a failure in their suit for example, they may be dead within a second. Next is the station itself. If they are repairing something and they do one thing wrong, they might be an explosion.

Astronauts use specially designed toilets that use air flow to collect waste. The waste is then either stored on board the spacecraft or processed to be ejected into space. Special equipment like thigh cuffs and funnels are used to help them position themselves in microgravity.

Alan Shepard trained to become an astronaut by going through rigorous physical fitness exercises, simulations of space missions, flight training in various aircraft, and studying spacecraft systems. He also underwent extensive medical evaluations to ensure he was in optimal health for spaceflight. Additionally, he participated in survival training in case of emergency landings.

Since a space suit is a closed system, the fart would remain trapped inside the suit. Over time, it would mix with the astronaut's body odors and other gases, creating an unpleasant environment. However, the complex ventilation systems in modern space suits help to filter out and manage odors.

Roberta Bondar became the first Canadian woman to travel to space in 1992 aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery. She inspired a generation of Canadians, especially young women, to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), breaking barriers and opening doors for future generations. Bondar continues to be an advocate for the environment and issues related to sustainability and climate change.

The challenges of being an astronaut include the rigorous physical and mental training, being away from family and friends for long periods, adapting to microgravity, and facing potential risks associated with space travel such as radiation exposure and isolation.

The suit an astronaut wears is called a space suit. These suits are specially designed to protect astronauts from the harsh conditions of space, such as vacuum, temperature extremes, and microgravity.

In the book "Holes" by Louis Sachar, Edwin is nicknamed "Twitch".

Astronauts recycle water from various sources such as humidity condensate, urine, and sweat through advanced onboard systems. They purify the water by filtering and treating it to make it safe for consumption. This recycling process helps reduce the amount of water that needs to be transported to space from Earth.

The human body has a fantastic ability to control its own temperature. That's why we

don't have to sit out on a sun-lit rock in the morning in order to get ourselves going,

and it's the reason why any ten Inupiat (people whose ancestors have lived in Alaska

for a thousand years) have the same average body temperature that any ten Ibo

(people whose ancestors have lived in equatorial Africa for a thousand years) have,

within a couple tenths of a degree.

We don't need special suits to do it ... unless the space around us stays very hot or

very cold for a long time ... like a child in a closed car in the direct sun on a hot day,

or an under-dressed mountain climber buried in snow for three solid days. Then, our

control machinery wears down, and our body temperature starts to creep in the

direction of the space around us.

If you look closely at the space suits used for running around on the moon or for space-

walking out around the International Space Station, you'll notice they all have this 'box'

on the astronaut's back. That's nothing more than his 'air-conditioner' that keeps the

air inside the suit at a comfortable temperature ... putting some heat in if it gets too

cold in there (which is rare), and taking heat out if it gets too warm in there (which is

much more common). With the air in the suit kept at a comfortable temperature, the

astronaut's body does the rest of the job of controlling its own temperature.

The first black astronaut was Guion Bluford, who was selected as an astronaut candidate by NASA in 1978 and became the first black person to travel in space in 1983 as a crew member aboard the Space Shuttle Challenger.

As of my last update, Guion Bluford is a retired astronaut and engineer. He served as a NASA astronaut, making history as the first African American in space. He has since retired from NASA and continues to be involved in promoting STEM education.

Astronauts Virgil "Gus" Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee died in a cabin fire during a pre-launch test for the Apollo 1 mission at Kennedy Space Center in 1967. The cause of the fire was traced to an electrical fault in the spacecraft's pure oxygen environment.

Yes, women can definitely be astronauts. Numerous women have successfully become astronauts and have participated in space missions conducted by various space agencies around the world, including NASA. Gender is not a barrier to becoming an astronaut.

Astronauts travelled to the moon aboard a spacecraft called the Apollo Command Module. They landed on the moon using a lunar module, explored the surface, and then returned to the Command Module. They launched back to Earth and re-entered the atmosphere before parachuting into the ocean for recovery.

Astronauts and scientists share a passion for exploration and discovery, strive for knowledge and understanding of the universe, and undergo rigorous training to accomplish challenging tasks. Both professions require critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and collaboration to achieve their goals of advancing human understanding of the world around us.

Astronauts must meet certain medical requirements, including being in excellent physical condition, having good vision, normal blood pressure, and no history of severe illnesses. They also undergo extensive medical testing to ensure they are healthy enough to withstand the challenges of space travel. Additionally, astronauts receive medical training to address emergencies that may arise during their missions.

Living in a weightless environment allows astronauts to move more freely, conduct experiments that require a lack of gravity, and experience changes in their perception of motion. This environment also offers unique opportunities to study the effects of microgravity on the human body.

Astronauts onboard the International Space Station use a system called the Carbon Dioxide Removal Assembly (CDRA) to remove carbon dioxide from the air they breathe. The CDRA system uses a process called adsorption to trap and remove CO2 from the cabin air.

They eat freeze dried food, which is basically real food that has had all the water evaporated out of it, this way it takes up less space when they pack it ( they have to put water on it when they eat it so it goes back to regular size)
