The record for the longest stay in space keeps getting longer and longer. To date, the current record is over 800 days, set by Space Station Commander Sergei Krikalev. The more people who fly in space and the longer they stay there, the more we learn about what spaceflight does to the human body and how we can survive in space for extended periods. We know that long-term spaceflight causes ...

Some of the facilities will be domed and some will not. It will depend on the purpose of the facility. It is very likely that you will not have to wear spacesuits inside any facilities, unless they are designed to not contain an artificial atmosphere for some reason. There are likely to be a variety of methods to get from one facility to another. Some will be connected by way of underground ...

Absolutely, it is usually much safer to travel during the minimum of the 11-year solar cycle. ---- Answer provided by Robert P.

That's for each person to decide—but the people engaged in it obviously think so As a society, we'll benefit from it both as economic activity and as a spur to building a skilled workforce. Space will also generate scientific discoveries and the creation of new technologies. I also think we'll benefit from the inspiration it provides. And someday, we'll benefit from having more living ...

You wouldn't have to wear your suit inside a moonbase, although you'd probably always want to have it handy. Any excursions outside absolutely require a spacesuit, probably even when in vehicles. ---- Answer provided by Thomas Matula, Ph.D. & Kenneth J.

Yes indeed. We avoid launches during meteor showers, like the Perseids and Leonids. We also have the US Air Force check their radars and debris tracking catalogs to make sure that we don't launch into another satellite or known debris, which we call space junk. ---- Answer provided by Alan Hale, Ph.D. & Capt.

The Spirit and Opportunity rovers on Mars discovered minerals on the surface that can only form in the presence of liquid water. This strongly suggests that Mars was once wet. The rovers have found no indication of plant life, but because liquid water is a key prerequisite for life, scientists infer conditions on Mars may have been habitable at some point in Mars' past. The Mars Global Surveyor ...
