Right now, even a seven-year-old could stand the physical stress of a blast off in the Shuttle with no more problem than an adult (although it would be very uncomfortable). The g-forces that push against you when the ship is escaping to space only last for a very short time and no damage actually occurs to healthy individuals. However, staying in space for more than a short visit would be a ...

Yes, emergency evacuation plans will be in place and guests will be trained in these procedures. Rescue personnel, vehicles and facilities will be available and everybody aboard the hotel will be trained in emergency operating procedures and will first try to stabilize the situation. But a truly functional hotel must allow the guests to escape when the living environment becomes really dangerous. ...

It's possible. Space travel is dangerous and not all routine yet. Because of the hostile environment—no air, extreme temperatures, long distances—any one of a number of failures could cause death. But these are combated and risks are reduced to an acceptable level through careful planning and analysis, vigorous discipline in design and manufacturing, testing at all levels of assembly, ...

The answer to this question depends upon the size of the hole and how fast your oxygen escapes. If the hole is small, the suit can maintain its production of oxygen from the stored liquid oxygen. If the hole is large or if the visor is accidentally opened, death would be almost instantaneous. ---- Answer provided by Lonnie Moffitt & Russell Romanella Image:K2S logosmall.jpg ...

It all depends on what you are doing. As we've already said, spaceflight is a risky business. But so are many of the things people do on Earth, like skydiving, mountain climbing, and alligator-wrestling, for example. ---- Answer provided by Brad McLain & Liv Arnesen Image:K2S logosmall.jpg Question and Answer extracted from the book Kids to Space - by Lonnie Schorer < ...

No one has ever been buried in space, or had their body released into space after death. For future long-term space travel, people may decide to perform burials-in-space much like burials-at-sea, in which a body is released from a ship in a casket. Or they may decide to do cremations and scatter a dead person's ashes into space. ---- Answer provided by Brad McLain & Liv Arnesen ...

There is a very remote chance of that since the caution and warning system is very sensitive, allowing the crew as much time as possible to become safe in the event of a fire. There is a fire suppression system and modules can be isolated to prevent the spread of fire and smoke. ---- Answer provided by Futron Corporation Image:K2S logosmall.jpg Question and Answer extracted from the ...

The jetpacks are only a backup to the tether primarily for an EVA performed on the ISS. Thus as long as the tether is still functioning, that will not happen at all. In the event that the tether does disconnect, there would be enough time to get to the astronaut, either with a vehicle or another crewmember. ---- Answer provided by Futron Corporation Image:K2S logosmall.jpg Question ...

Spaceships do not usually blow up, especially in LEO. They are quite stable. There may be several problems or malfunctions that lead to an explosion. Usually, there is an indication of one or more problems prior to the spaceship exploding. However, that is not out of the realm of possibilities. ---- Answer provided by Futron Corporation Image:K2S logosmall.jpg Question and Answer ...

It is impossible to remove all the risk from spaceflight, or even remove it from just everyday living. But we do live reasonably safe lives if we take precautions and obey the rules provided to us. The same is true for spaceflight. It is reasonably safe if we follow the precautions and guidelines set for us. ---- Answer provided by Futron Corporation Image:K2S logosmall.jpg Question ...
