Astronauts

Plastic, mostly. However they are covered in a thin layer of gold to protect the astronaut's eyes from harmful sun light.

That would be Gemini 8. Neil Armstrong and David Scott docked with an unmanned Agena target vehicle on March 16th, 1966. The two spacecraft remained docked for approximately 31 minutes before a malfunctioning thruster on the Gemini spacecraft forced Armstrong to undock and terminate the mission after only 10 hours 37 minutes.

Salaries for civilian Astronaut Candidates are based on the Federal Government's General Schedule pay scale for grades GS-12 through GS-13. Each person's grade is determined according to his/her academic achievements and experience. Currently, a GS-12 starts at $65,140 per year and a GS-13 can earn up to $100,701 per year. Military Astronaut Candidates are assigned to the Johnson Space Center and remain in an active duty status for pay, benefits, leave, and similar military matters.

John glenns childhood was a good one for the most part. He grew up in Ohio. His childhood sweetheart was Annie Castor who he later married.

No - Dr. Jemison's only role was as a Shuttle Mission Specialist, and we haven't been to the Moon since the 70's.

I read in a book that John Young was making close to 100K a year in the 1980s, which is a lot for that time and now.

Hmm.. I am going to say yes... but it has to be a different kind of ice cream like, vaccum packed ice cream. If you go to a candy store they might have space ice cream and that ice cream is the real kind they eat in space.

It acts as a RADAR unit, sending radio waves and measuring the amount of time it takes for them to come back.

radio telescopes monitor radio signals from outer space. The signals are analysed and classified by type to determine the nature of the source and widen our knowledge of astrophysics and cosmology.

Of the seven military test pilots selected as astronauts selected for Project Mercury, only six actually flew Mercury missions: Shepard, Grissom, Glenn, Carpenter, Schirra and Cooper. Slayton was medically grounded in 1962 and replaced by Carpenter, but eventually flew on the last pre-Shuttle mission, the Apollo-Soyuz Tesp Project, in 1975.

It would become very hot. Dark surfaces absorb more light than light-colored ones. The energy from that light is turned into heat. In space there is nothing to filter out the light from the sun and no atmosphere to help dissipate it. For example, areas of the moon that are exposed to direct sunlight reach temperatures of about 200 degrees Fahrenheit (93 Celsius).

Food is taken into space in freeze-dried packets.

But i am not sure if they add water or not.

Yes, water must be added. However certain foods like the freeze-dried icecream are fine without adding water.

They just point the can in the direction they dont wanna go, spray it and itll slowly push them, and since they would be in the vaccum of space he would gain speed slowly and keep going until he hits an object 717 for life!!!!

• Space suits can be punctured by pieces of space junk, as even the shuttle itself has been damaged slightly. Tiny flecks of paint or rock particles have the same ability to damage as a bullet does. Spacewalking astronauts have found their gloves punctured on at least two occasions. Once, the object that pierced it remained in place and kept it sealed, and the other time the puncture extended only through two of the five glove layers. Should the hole cause depressurization of the suit, an astronaut would die.

They come back to earth younger than they would have been had they stayed on earth for that same period of time. They are traveling so fast relative to the earth that time slows down for them. For a voyage of a few weeks this may only add up to several seconds or maybe a few minutes, but if they traveled even faster for a longer period of time it is theorized they could come back to earth after what seemed like a one year journey to them and, to exaggerate a little, perhaps ten years have passed on earth.

James Ephraim Lovelock, CH, CBE, FRS, Ph.D (born 26 July 1919) is 94 years old

All the men that have walked on the moon have been Caucasian Americans

No "cosmonaut" ever landed on the moon. The word cosmonaut is the Soviet Union's title for men and women it sends into space. The Soviet Union never placed a person on the moon. The word "astronaut" is the title the United States uses for its space explorers. The first astronaut on the moon was Neil Armstrong.

Only 12 astronauts have landed on the Moon, the first being

Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin (Apollo 11, July 20, 1969).

The others were:

Pete Conrad and Alan Bean (Apollo 12)

Alan Shepard and Edgar Mitchell (Apollo 14)

David Scott and James Irwin (Apollo 15)

John Young and Charles Duke (Apollo 16)

Gene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt (Apollo17, December 1972)

In my opinion they were aliens. Mean,selfish aliens that didnt care of anything. Hitler didnt even have blonde hair and blue eyes! No they didnt have contact with aliens

Since many astronauts are scientists, or are under the direction of scientists, most of the time spent in space is devoted to experiments and keeping the ship clean and in good repair. With their vitals being monitored constantly, one could say that every moment an astronaut is in space is somebody's experiment. Astronauts also spend a good portion of the day sleeping, as we do.

They know as they are in contact with N.A.S.A.and thet can see the moon surface when they land.

There are 2 types of cells that populate living bone: osteoblasts (cells that build new bone) and osteoclasts (cells that destroy and recycle old bone).

A feedback system based on stresses in the bone keeps the operation of these cells in balance. Where there is more stress the osteoblasts become more active and strengthen the bone, where there is less stress the osteoclasts become more active and weaken the bone. Normally gravity and movement provide these stresses needed to keep the bones healthy.

However in the low gravity environment of space, the stresses are insufficient and imbalance results with the osteoclasts becoming more active and the bones become unhealthily weak.

Yes, Neil Armstrong died on August 25, 2012

The earth orbits round the sun, whilst spinning at the same time, so when the sun sets, its just because we have spun round so we are not facing it. when the sun rises, its because the earth has spun back around to face it. so no the sun stays in the same place, the earth moves.
