Astronauts

Lots of tests. For every hour they are in space they have done 10 hours of under water training. That is only one of there training drills. To find out more go to:http://science.howstuffworks.com/astronaut4.htm Thanks

Ask a astronaut....

it would over heat. Black objects typically have a higher solar heat gain coefficient than lighter colors.

they should add water

Probably most of them did at some point.

You may be thinking of Alan Shepard who is well known to have wet himself while waiting for his Mercury flight to launch through many delays. Astronauts wore diapers for the reason that it is not always easy or possible to use the 'waste disposal system', and this did not even exist in the very earliest missions.

Astronaut Ellen Ochoa was born on May 10th, 1958.

The amount of planet matter equal to that of the astronaut would annihilate.

To see if it was safe for a human to travel into safe. If the monkey made it, a human might survive space travel. If the ape died, then it was not safe for a human to go into space. The chimp lived, so human beings were sent into outer space.

No, not yet. But Portugal has a longstanding, historical interest in knowledge of the night sky, and of the heavenly bodies. That interest was formalized in 1290, with the founding of the first Portuguese University. One of the early unversity's courses of study was astronomy. For astronomy always has had great use value, for this fishing and seafaring nation. And, indeed, sailors and navigators were skilled at successful, intrepid navigation by checking the position of the sun in the daytime sky, and the stars in the night and early morning skies. Portugal is a small country of southwestern Europe. It's bounded on the south and west by water, to the north and east by Spain. So optimal use of human and natural resources always has been a priority to the Portuguese, be they among the ruled or the rulers. In the space age, that means directing human and natural resources into technology, over human space flight. In a way, that may be said to be consistent with the nation's seafaring accomplishments of previous centuries. For one reason for the Portuguese worldwide successes was precisely their concentration on the technology of navigating. And the Portuguese opt for opportunities in technology, over human space flight, at the European Space Agency, of which the Republic is a member state. Membership gives nationals a chance for one of two early training opportunities. Both are intended for recent graduates of a four year degree program. The ESA pays all costs in the young graduate trainee program. The appropriate country pays all the costs in the Spanish and Portuguese trainee program. Portugal and Spain each tend to send 30 students through each program, each year. Regardless of the program, actual training always is held in one of the four main ESA establishments, at Paris, France; Darmstadt, Germany; Frascati, Italy; or Noordwijk, Netherlands. At the establishments, training concentrates on engineering and science as applied to the exploration and travel of outer space. Thus, traineeships are available in earth observation, human space flight, mission control operations, navigation, space science, and telecommunications. In fact, Portugal launched its own satellite, the P-Sat 1, on September 26, 1993. To this day, the satellite continues its collecting of images and relaying of communications. And, in another application of technology, Portugal is one of the nations that has been involved in nuclear fusion, as opposed to nuclear fission, research over the past 50 years. Together with counterparts in Sweden and the United Kingdom, Portuguese researchers may have solved one of the major challenges to human space travel. For the three respective research teams released a statement, in November 2008, about overcoming the deadly exposure to space radiation on human flights to Mars. Their research indicates that a space craft may be able to travel within a force field that would protect astronauts from the lethal damage to human tissue by solar wind radiation. The coil could be operated from the space craft's own solar cells, at a charge of 1-2 kilowatts of power 2-3 hours each day of the flight.

An astronaut. And it's spelt 'female'.

No really. Political boundaries are not features that are marked out on the ground, so there is really nothing to see from Earth orbit.

He throws away something

Shepard's training began 18 years before his first flight when he graduated from the Naval Academy. He received his avaitor wings in 1947. By 1950 he had become a good enough pilot to enter the Naval Test Pilot School where he tested much faster jets at much higher altitudes than he'd ever flown before. This experience, along his general good health, led him to be selected as one of the Original 7 astronauts. By the time he was selected in 1959, he was already prepared to fly in space. He spent the next 2 years getting familiar with the Redstone booster that would launch him into space and the Mercury spacecraft he would be riding in once he got there.

His training included riding the centrifuge to familiarize him with the G-forces he would experience during his flight. G-forces are nothing new to astronauts. They experience them all the time while flying high performance jets. The only difference is an astronaut is subjected to them for much longer. He also spent a lot of time in the simulator where he learned to respond to all the failures that might occur during his flight. He also had to study manuals and blueprints on both his booster and spacecraft. In addition to studying his spacecraft, all the Mercury astronauts helped design the cockpit. The Mercury and Gemini astronauts were all engineers in addition to pilots.

Weightlessness.

i dont know all i know is that she was always intrested in space so she became an astronut

That depends on where He/She is standing:

On the moon:

Not much different that earth.

In a space station:

Umm, why is there a boulder in the space station again?

Floating in space:

He/she would fly backwards and the boulder would move away very slowly.

Friction and gravity would keep the person in place on the Earth, moon or space station. However, when they are floating there is no external force. At that point the law of consevation of momentum is in full effect. ( p = m v )

Since the astronaut has a much smaller mass he/she moves more. A similar action-reaction can be seen when firing a standard gun. The bullet has a small mass compared to the person. The bullet moves very fast in one direction while the person only moves a little in the opposite direction.

Being one of the few people who get to go into space, to experience living in a weightlessness environment, to look down on the earth from above, and to fully appreciate the vast emptiness of space. I guess what one person sees as being special will vary with the next, however there are many people that have an appreciation and a curiosity to wonder what it would be like.

The first man in space was Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, as far as I know, he was Russian, not Hispanic.
