If they ever were that unfortunate, a tiny tear in a space suit could kill you almost instantly. That and the fact that space junk travels an average of 36,000 kmph (Kilometers per hour).
In my school book, i'm pretty sure it said no one has died from spacesit failires
Astronauts wear spacesuits due to the absence of pressure in space. They need to maintain the pressure level on Earth by isolating themselves from actual space. For the helmets: there is no oxygen in space. Humans require oxygen to live, inhaling it through their nose and mouth. Therefore if they do not wear helmets, they will die instantly from loss of oxygen.
Astronauts require less sleep than normal; Theoretically because the astronauts always have to be alert in a dangerous setting like space.
Apollo 1- a launch pad test resulted in a fire in the space capsule exacerbated by the fact that, at that time, NASA had a high oxygen atmosphere in space capsules, which greatly intensified the fire. The 3 astronauts in the capsule were killed, Grissom, White and Chaffee.They were the only Astronauts lost in the Apollo program.
They will die. There appears to be some question as to whether they will freeze to death or if they would explode from the internal body pressure.
Well, some astronauts do. Not all astronauts will die in space, but some will if the mission went wrong or if it is just being there when you die of natural causes.
we all die
Since the 1950's the United States and other nations have been sending satellites into space. Eventually they die and then turn into space junk. They stay there until, at some point, they return to earth as falling junk.
because they will have to take there hat off and then die
Gloves and boots are used for each and every mission in which astronauts are in space or on the moon. They are integral to any closed space suit. Without them astronauts would subjected to the vacuum of space and die almost instantly.
See: how did the astronauts die in the Challenger disaster.
in space. Nevermind, the astronauts wear space suits because otherwise they would die due to the Sun's radiation and the extremely low temperatures in space. And because there isn't air in space.
Apollo 13 astronauts were brought back safe to earth, and the only person of the three astronauts to die is John, jack Swigert, he died in 1983 of bone marrow cancer.
No. Only a few astronauts have died in the line of duty, and very few (and no Americans) have died in space. The most dangerous part of any space journey is the launch and the landing. Three American astronauts were killed in a fire in the capsule on the launch pad during testing before Apollo 1. Seven astronauts were killed when space shuttle Challenger was destroyed during launch, and seven astronauts were killed when the shuttle Columbia disintegrated over Texas during re-entry. At least a few astronauts were killed in aircraft accidents. We believe that the Russians lost a couple of astronauts in space, but this has never been admitted. Several Russian astronauts have died during re-entry or during the landing.

They carry their air with them - utilizing carbon dioxide scrubbers to remove the carbon dioxide that they exhale. If their space ship or space suits were breached, they would lose the air they contained and die.
