Astronauts

they do some practicing b4 the real thing and they go to shool about it

Julie Payette is a Canadian engineer and astronaut who has completed two spaceflights, logging more than 25 days in space. She became an astronaut by being selected by the CSA as one of four astronauts from a total of 5,330 applicants in June of 1992.

You train for your mission. When its done, you do the mission. Now after you come back, the school finds out and everybody, even the bullies, all of a sudden wants to be friends lol

Apollo 7 was the first manned Apollo mission. The crew consisted of Walter Schirra (Commander), and Walter Cunningham and Donn Eisele. Apollo 7 was Schirra's 3rd space flight and the first for Eisele and Cunningham. Their 11 day mission launched on October 11, 1968. After 2 days in space, the astronauts all came down with head colds, which caused the astronauts to become irritable and uncooperative with mission control. Schirra had decided before the flight that Apollo 7 would be his last flight, however, Eisele and Cunningham were both hoping to fly again. Eisele was assigned as backup on Apollo 10. Normally, that would mean he would be named to prime crew 3 flights later (Apollo 13), however, his behavior on Apollo 7 and his very public divorce made him unacceptable to NASA management. Following Apollo 7, Cunningham was named to a management role for the Skylab project. He claims in his book that he was to command the first Skylab mission, but Pete Conrad decided he wanted to fly again and was given command of the Skylab 2 mission. Cunningham left NASA shortly after that.

In spite of running afoul of NASA management, Apollo 7 was by all accounts a success. They made numerous maneuvers using the SPS engine that would send astronauts out of lunar orbit. Apollo 7 was successful enough that NASA decided to change the Apollo 8 flight plan from a high earth orbital mission to a lunar orbital mission. That change was instrumental in achieving Kennedy's goal of "landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth".

Only seven people were chosen for the Mercury program. Six out of the seven astronauts chosen had a Mercury flight. Deke Slayton was grounded because he had a heart problem (a heart murmur to be exact). He was able to fly as part of the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project.

here are the seven mermbers of the Mercury program:

Alan Shepard jr.

Gus Grissom

John Glenn Jr.

Scott Carpenter

Walter Schirra jr.

Gordon Cooper jr.

Deke Slayton

· Salt and pepper are available but only in a liquid form.

· Because astronauts can't sprinkle salt and pepper on their food in space. salt and pepper would simply float away

· There is a danger they could clog air vents, contaminate equipment or get stuck in an astronaut's eyes, mouth or nose.

· no refrigerators in space, so space food must be stored and prepared properly to avoid spoilage, especially on longer missions

· Space food comes in packages that must be disposed.

· Must throw their packages away in trash compactor inside space shuttle when done eating.

· Other foods require adding water, such as macaroni and cheese or spaghetti

· There are only four bunk beds in the space shuttle. So that means on missions with five or more astronauts, the other crewmembers have to sleep in a sleeping bag attached to their seats or to a wall

· Currently, space station crews have three astronauts living and working in space for months at a time.

· Where does the third astronaut sleep? If it's okay with the commander, the astronaut can sleep anywhere in the space station so long as they attach themselves to something.

· The excitement of being in space and motion sickness can disrupt an astronaut's sleep pattern.

· Sleeping in close quarters can also be disruptive since crewmembers can easily hear each other.

· Sleeping in the shuttle's cockpit can also be difficult since the Sun rises every 90 minutes during a mission. The sunlight and warmth entering the cockpit window is enough to disturb a sleeper who is not wearing a sleep mask.

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.

The only correct way to try and contact any astronaut is to write to the following address:

Yuri Gagarin, a soviet cosmonaut, was the first man in space. He was killed in an airplane training accident about 10 years after his historic flight.

Alan Shepard was the first American astronaut. He died of leukemia in 1998, at about 74 years old.

No human being has visited another planet yet. The only extraterrestrial object which has been visited by humans is our moon, which was "visited" (walked upon) by the following astronauts:

Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, Pete Conrad, Alan Bean, Alan Shepard, Edgar Mitchell, David Scott, James Erwin, John W. Young, Charles Duke, Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt.

The term "Walkie Talkie" is a colloquialism which refers to a hand portable transceiver. Since every spacesuit is fitted with a hands-free transceiver then it is fair to say that they are always using one when suited up.

No. Thanks to some amazing jerry-rig technical advice from Ground Control, all three made it back safely.

Jack Swigert died of cancer in 1982, 12 years after the flight. As of August 2011, Jim Lovell and Fred Haise are still alive.

they need oxygen, food, water, spaceship, and a heat source to survive!

Alan Shepard, Jr. was an American astronaut. He commanded the Apollo 14 mission, and is the fifth individual, as well as the oldest, to walk on the moon.

Helen Sharman (born May 30, 1963) was the first Briton in space, when she flew with cosmonauts to the Mir space station on May 18-26, 1991. She arrived at the station on Soyuz-TM12 and returned aboard Soyuz-TM11.

In October 1998, Senator Glenn returned to space at the age of 77 aboard the space shuttle Discovery, making him the oldest person to fly in space.
