Because of space stations, humanity is beginning to learn how people can reside and work in space well removed from Earth, and what the benefits, risks, costs and prospects are of our so doing. This helps us to plan how to reside on the Moon, perhaps Mars, and perhaps even farther—and to think of fundam ---- Answer provided by Thomas Rogers & Russell Romanella Image:K2S ...

There is static electricity in Space. It comes from rubbing certain things together and building up an electrical charge. This happens whether there is air or no air. There are electrical storms that come indirectly from the Sun, called solar storms. They are different than the type of storms we are used too on Earth. These storms release energy in the form of gamma rays and electromagnetic ...

Some missions performed on piloted spacecraft—a few Space Shuttle flights for instance—are secret. Some of those in the past have been for national defense purposes and others for very competitive industries like computer chip research. There are also secretive unpiloted robotic satellite missions with similar sponsors. ---- Answer provided by Charles D. Walker, Ph.D Image: ...

We really haven't figured out how to do ball games in space, but we did do some things like play ring toss. Video games could float away if they are not tethered by a string or Velcro. ---- Answer provided by Byron Lichtenberg, Ph.D. Image:K2S logosmall.jpg Question and Answer extracted from the book Kids to Space - by Lonnie Schorer Image:9781894959421.jpg ...

Spacesuits are designed by engineers, not for fashion but for a particular usage. The ACES, worn by astronauts during ascent, re-entry, and landings, is designed specifically to provide safety and rescue aids for the astronauts in case they have to do a launch abort or a bailout during the landing phase of the mission. The EMU is designed to protect the astronaut outside the spacecraft. ...

If pets ever fly in space, they will need a pet spacesuit to be able to live. NASA has flown mice before on the Shuttle but they were in the protection of the Shuttle and were never outside. If they ever went outside, they would need a mouse suit. ---- Answer provided by Lonnie Moffitt Image:K2S logosmall.jpg Question and Answer extracted from the book Kids to Space - by Lonnie ...

On Earth, gravity pulls the fluids in your body downward, away from the sensors in your heart and lungs that detect how well hydrated you are. Millions of years of evolution have adjusted those sensors to this one-gravity balance of fluids in the body. In space, where there is no apparent gravity, the fluids shift back up towards these sensors, which are fooled into thinking you have too much ...

Extreme environments are places that are very different from our normal living conditions. Space is one extreme environment. So are deserts, high mountaintops, and the deep ocean, to name a few others. In order to survive in extreme environments, we need to understand what those environments are like before we go there. For space exploration, this may mean sending robots before people, as we've ...

Generally, you will try to—and usually have time to—maneuver to avoid the collision. If that is not possible, you will try to minimize the impact of the crash and don safety equipment or follow safety procedures to protect yourselves during the crash. ---- Answer provided by Futron Corporation Image:K2S logosmall.jpg Question and Answer extracted from the book Kids to ...

After World War II the United Nations (UN) was created to prevent conflict and to provide a forum for global diplomacy. One of the first responsibilities ceded to the UN was for Outer Space. The UN formed the Committee for the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (COPUOS), with a secretariat known as the Office of Outer Space Affairs and with a legal arm known as the Legal Sub-Committee. http://www.oosa. ...
