What will happen to your body fluids in space if you are not wearing a spacesuit?
Your blood and body fluids would boil and then freeze because there is little or no air pressure. Your tissues (skin, heart, other internal organs) would expand because of the boiling fluids.
Would you be able to breathe the air on Mars or would you need to use a spacesuit?
Mars does have an atmosphere, but it is about 100 times thinner than Earth’s atmosphere and it has very little oxygen. The atmosphere on Mars is made up of mainly carbon dioxide. An astronaut on Mars would not be able to breathe the Martian air and would need a spacesuit with oxygen to work outdoors.
Can a knife cut through a space suit?
Sharp rocks atop the surface of the moon and Mars pose their own dangers. As a result, some of the rocks can be sharp as knives. So they could easily cut or poke holes in a spacesuit if an astronaut fell on them. The suits worn by astronauts today just won’t hold up to this kind of wear and tear.
What happens if an astronaut runs out of oxygen?
The vacuum of space will pull the air from your body. So if there’s air left in your lungs, they will rupture. Without air in your lungs, blood will stop sending oxygen to your brain. You’ll pass out after about 15 seconds.
Does Mars have zero gravity?
Since Mars has less mass than Earth, the surface gravity on Mars is less than the surface gravity on Earth. The surface gravity on Mars is only about 38\% of the surface gravity on Earth, so if you weigh 100 pounds on Earth, you would weigh only 38 pounds on Mars.
Do astronauts have knives?
Knives have always been present in manned space flight, mainly as a survival tool. Although this subject is not very well documented, it is interesting to understand why knives were taken into space and to see what these knives look like. Astronaut-gear is interesting. It has strong appeal, especially to men.
Do astronauts use knives and forks?
Astronauts use knife, fork, and spoon. The only unusual eating utensil is a pair of scissors used for cutting open the packages. Following the meal, food containers are discarded in the trash compartment below the mid-deck floor.
