13. Would we be able to live in a space environment? (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

Yes, we can live in a space environment. Our astronauts have been living in space since 1961 when the first astronauts went into space. To live in space we need an environment similar to what we have on Earth. It cannot be too hot or too cold. We also need a breathable atmosphere. We need protection from the dangerous radiation, too. Spacesuits and spacecraft are designed to provide a protective environment in which we can live.
