Why an astronaut's digestive system still works even when weightless in space?
ahahah nica sorry but i dont answer questions for ugly as people
Why do space suits cost so much?
Because things in High-technology are expensive. A space suit is part of Technology. People in Government was wandering if a space suit would be cheap, They claimed it to be expensive because the government wanted the Normal class of people could not afford it, only rich ones...
US astronaut James A. Lovell, Jr. is 89 years old (birthdate: March 25, 1928).
Why do astronauts feel weightless while in orbit?
Astronauts in orbit are weightless, but not because they are beyond the pull of earth's gravity. If the moon, roughly 240,000 miles away, is within the influence of earth's gravity, so is an astronaut just a few miles up in comparison. Astronauts are weightless because they are in orbit, and being in orbit can be thought of very roughly as a special kind of freefall. They are held by gravity, but they are also moving along a path that keeps them from descending appreciably during their flight. If you remember clips you have seen of astronauts in the space station, floating freely, you can see how futile it would be to try to 'stand' on an ordinary house scale to measure how 'heavy' they are in pounds. But if you could sling an astronaut around on a kind of mass-measuring centrifuge (not too fast, of course) you would see that they are maintaining a healthy mass. Weight and mass are different measures, even if they seem to be indistinguishable on the earth's surface.
How many astronauts have been on Saturn?
Saturn has 61 identified moons with secure orbits, but we don't know for sure if there are more to yet be discovered. There are millions of smaller rocks and particles orbiting the planet - in the planets extensive ring system. These could be describes as satellites. There is also one artificial satellite in orbit around the planet called Cassini-Huygens, which was put there in 2004 and is still there today.
Former astronaut Chris Hadfield is 58 years old (birthdate: August 29, 1959).
Do astronauts get constipated or have diarrhea from the space food?
i dont think usally since they useally try to keep the foood as fresh as possible in space
How many hours does an astronaut work in a week?
An average astronaut works 9 hours a day. In a week an astronaut works 63 hours. It also depends if you are more experienced or a beginner as an astronaut. If you are experienced you work that amount. But if you are a beginner than you might work less.
What city did Neil Armstrong die in?
Neil Armstrong died in Cincinnati, Ohio on August 25, 2012 at age 82.
Where does space begin if your an astronaut?
The space for any standing point begins exactly at the four dimenstions where it is located.
An astronaut is a person who travels in Space. Until 03 an astronaut was usually trained by the military, government or civil space agents. Now they are trained by the SSO- SpaceShipOne. Every astronaut is accompanied by two or more other astronauts when they travel up into Space. The first Americans on the moon were Ed White, Eugene Cernan and (of course) Neil Armstrong.
an astronaut is a person who specializes in space travel and exploration. an astronaut is put in to space, orbit in a satellite, on other planet or moon to carry out scientific experiments and observations.the result of his/her observation and experiment is sent to earth where we analyse the result.this helps us to know more about the earth, space, other planets, etc.
A space traveler
i know
What space program sent the first Americans into space?
the first program to send Americans into space was called "project mercury"
What is bytes mega bytes and giga bytes?
bytes, megabytes and Gigabytes are the units for measuring the amout of data on a computer.
1024 megabytes are a gigabyte
How much living space do astronauts have in a rocket?
As there is less space , and three men share the craft the amount of space will be less.
Do astronauts live longer if sent into space?
Technically they do not live longer and in other ways they do. If an Astronaut spends enough time in space then time to them will flow slower than it would on earth. When astronauts spend time on the ISS they come back younger as time for them has gone by slower.
Yes this is a hard concept to explain
How does astronauts go into space when there is gravity?
The massive speed and acceleration of the spaceship is so great, that they are able to escape Earth's gravitational pull. Then at around the correct altitute, they can orbit the Earth safely.
Can a medical doctor become a NASA astronaut?
Yes. There should be no restrictions as long as he is qualified and medically fit.
If they ever were that unfortunate, a tiny tear in a space suit could kill you almost instantly. That and the fact that space junk travels an average of 36,000 kmph (Kilometers per hour).
