01. Will it be difficult to communicate with people when we are in space? (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

While you are in your spaceship, communication is just the same as it would be if you were flying in an airliner. Your biggest problem would be the noise from all the equipment in your craft. However, if you are outside the ship and in the vacuum of space, you will only be able to communicate with radio communication. This system also allows you to talk to people on the ground as well as to others in other spacecraft.
