Astronauts

Αστροναύτης and αστροναύτισσα are Greek equivalents of the English word "astronaut." Context makes clear whether feminine (case 2) or masculine (example 1) gender suits for the English singular noun whose origins trace back to the merger of the Greek words ἄστρον (ástron, “star”) and ναύτης (naútēs, “sailor”). The respective pronunciations will be "A-stro-NAF-tees" in the masculine and "A-stro-NAF-tees-sa" in Aeginan Greek.

Liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen are carried on board in two systems of pressurized tanks. The cabin pressurization system combines the gases in the correct mixture at normal atmospheric pressure. While in orbit, only one oxygen system and one nitrogen system are used to pressurize the orbiter. During launch and landing, both systems of each gas are used.

Oxogen water and food or if your Michael De Santiago you should take alot and lot of chips A Space astronaut would take a T.V. a Video Games System a Monkey a cow and A baby hores and a dog. THE space person would take movies and games and a nice fine girl to makeout with and maybe 3 or 10 girls to do whateve. he would take a car with him and a house and clothes furnitchure and food. And he needs cds to listen to music and to slap his women around and he's wants to take a bunch of money with to throw it around. He named the moon retard moon.

There are loads of jobs they do, like finding the truth about aliens... which is mainly the reason why people go up to space, also for the experience... I'm not much of a genius but i hoped it helped

By newton's Third law of Motion, every action has an equal and opposite reaction, the astronaut would be thrown back. The tennis ball would however keep on going in the direction until another force acted upon it(planet's gravity, meteor, etc.) by Newton's Third Law

No all can not be astronauts, you have to be a science student, and you must be a jet pilot who has spent a certain number of hours in a jet plane.

thermosphere.....i think

It controls the temperature there, water and oxygen are also there.

Everyone needs to be protected against radiation, because radiation in strong doses can Kill or injure. A small amount that a person receives in an x-ray will do no harm; but, too strong a dose of radiation is very dangerous. Radiation is greater in outer space than it is on the earth, because, we are protected from radiation on earth by the atmosphere. Astronauts in outer space have no such protection.

Oxygen (O2) is necessary to the respiration and the survival of astronauts in the near vacuum of space. Astronauts does not have the breathable atmosphere on Earth in space. The space suit protects them from the lethal cold and vacuum of space by keeping him in temperature controlled and pressurized environment.

astronauts leave earth by the liftoff of the space shuttle and rockets, it is called force of the rocket. The engine starts and liquid fuel comes out of the rocket and pushes them up.

You should take geometry, algebra, trignometry, calculus, biology, chemistry, physics.
to become an astronaut hope this helps

Going into space is dangerous. A fair number of astronauts and cosmonauts have died during space missions and others have face with life-threatening situations. Astronauts go into space knowing that even a seemingly minor malfunction could prove fatal.

Because if weighted properly, they can be neutrally boyant. In other words, they're as close to weightless as they can get on earth. The astronauts train underwater to give them a sense of what its like to do their task while weightless and also to practice the peocedures required for their task. The first astronaut to take advantage was Buzz Aldrin when he trained for his Gemini 12 mission. Aldrin was and is still an avid scuba diver. He noticed the similarity between water and space. His succees on Gemin 12 made underwater training the norm for all astronaut extravehicular training.

Sally Ride is the youngest American astronaut. In June, 1983, she was 32 years and 23 days old when she flew on the STS-7.

Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were the first humans to land on the moon. They both landed on July 20, 1969 in the lunar module "Eagle".

Neil Armstrong was the first person who set foot on the moon's surface.

Astronauts are able to keep things clean fairly easily. The living space, bathroom, and eating space are kept separate from everything else. They are also wiped down with antiseptic wet wipes regularly because germs grow fast in space.

no. She was briefly married to a male astronaut. However, at the time of her death, she was in a 27-year relationship with a female. They were not legally married, however. Even if they had been, Dr. Tam O'Shaunessy, Ms. Ride's partner cannot receive any death benefit from the federal government (not even Social Security's usual payment towards burial costs) because of DOMA.

Guion S. Bluford, Jr., is a great role model to African-Americans Born Guion Stewart Bluford, Jr., November 22, 1942, in Philadelphia, PA

His dad was a mechanical engineer. His mom was a special ed teacher. Guion took after his dad. He just loved finding out how things were put together. But what amazed him was how things flew.

He became a Boy Scout and worked his way up the ranks to a Star Scout. A couple of years later, he went to college and he joined the Air Force. He graduated from Penn State with a bachelor of science degree in aerospace engineering.

Next he earned his wings, and once he got his wings, he applied to the Airforce Institute of Technology. He got a master's degree in aerospace engineering. Then he got a PhD in aerospace engineering and applied for the astronaut program. He was chosen to fly on the Challenger flight and became the first African-American in space.

He also was in the U.S. Air Force, as a fighter pilot, 1964-68, served in Vietnam, became lieutenant colonel; received numerous medals, including ten Air Medals, three Air Force Outstanding Unit Awards, and an Air Force Commendation Medal. Test pilot and pilot trainer, 1968-78.

He became a NASA astronaut in August 1979. His technical assignments have included working with Space Station operations, the Remote Manipulator System), Space lab systems and experiments,

Space Shuttle systems, payload safety issues and verifying flight software in the Shuttle Avionics Integration Laboratory, and in the Flight Systems Laboratory, he also was a mission specialist on STS-8, STS-61-A, STS-39, and STS-53.[2]

His first mission was STS-8, which launched from Kennedy Space Center, Florida, on August 30, 1983. This was the third flight for the Orbiter Challenger and the first mission with a night launch and night landing.

He also served on the crew of STS-39, which launched from the Kennedy Space Center, Florida, on April 28, 1991, aboard the Orbiter Discovery

Guion Bluford

Guion S. Bluford, Jr., is a great role model to African-Americans and to his children. He has a wife named Linda Tull, and two kids named Guion III and James. His dad was a mechanical engineer. His mom was a special ed teacher. Guion took after his dad. He just loved finding out how things were put together. But what amazed him was how things flew.

He became a Boy Scout and worked his way up the ranks to a Star Scout. A couple of years later, he went to college and he joined the Air Force. He graduated from Penn State with a bachelor of science degree in aerospace engineering. Next he earned his wings, and once he got his wings, he applied to the Airforce Institute of Technology. He got a master's degree in aerospace engineering. Then he got a PhD in aerospace engineering and applied for the astronaut program. He was chosen to fly on the Challenger flight and became the first African-American in space.

In 1993 he retired from the Air Force at the rank of Colonel. Also, in 1997, he became part of the International Space Hall of Fame. His first hardship in life was when his teachers said he wasn't college material. He went to college, but it was another hardship in his life. He was one of 35 out 8,878 applicants for the astronaut program. As for one of his major accomplishments, he flew 144 combat missions in the Vietnam War.

Guion Bluford showed he was a hero in many ways. He showed heroism by fulfilling his dream to become an aerospace engineer. He also fought in the Vietnam War. And lastly, he blasted into outer space.

He demonstrated many characteristics of being a hero. He showed courage and bravery in becoming an astronaut and flying over 144 missions in the Vietnam War. He showed determination for not giving up on his dream.

Today , according to my sources, lives in Greenbelt, Maryland. I can't find out much more about him except that he is retired now and his two kids are in college.

I think Guion Bluford's life teaches us to not give up and good things will come, because he didn't give up on his dream and it came true. He is up

Gemini 1

Actually it would be either Freedom 7 (Mercury) or Apollo 14. Alan Shepard never flew during the Gemini program. He was grounded at that time by an inner-ear condition called Meniere's Disease.

i dont knowww.

Most workers risks their lives for their job. Factory and refinery workers die at a much higher rate than astronauts. More astronauts have died in plane crashes and car accidents than have died in space. While being an astronaut seems more dangerous than most jobs, there are countless safety factors built into the spacecraft and the flight plan that don't exist in most other earthly workplaces. There's obviously a risk to space travel, but NASA and the astronauts make sure their vehicle is as safe as possible to minimize those risks as much as is humanly possible.

Not really. If you go in to space, you're an astronaut. They may be from different countries, or be man or woman, or Christian or Jew or Moslem or Hindu or Buddhist, but they're still astronauts.
