Space suit.
Outer space is a very extreme environment. You would only survive about 15 seconds before you become unconscious because there is no oxygen. Once you become unconscious everything in the human body will boil and freeze due to the fact that there is not air pressure in outer space. . Nothing can survive without specialized equipment. Astronauts are able to move freely through space because of the space suit.
The space suit has a pressurized atmosphere. The atmosphere in the suit is 4.4 to 5.4 ft3 (.125 to .153 m3) without astronaut. Here on earth we experience 14.7 pounds per square inch, in space if an astronaut would experience 4.9 pounds per square inches of force if not in the space suit. That is a key thing because air pressure keeps everything in a human body. What the astronaut breathes is not normal oxygen like we down here at earth. The suit contains78 percent nitrogen, 21 percent oxygen and 1 percent other gases. if the astronaut had normal air in their suit they would eventually run out of oxygen and pass out. When we breathe we rele...
This can be seen in the text where Ross writes, “Space travel is hard physically; in addition, being isolated for a long period of time can be tough mentally” (Ross). It can be hard because people’s bodies would go through so many different changes. It could be hard mentally because Ross says, “So what happens to the body in space? For starters, muscles weaken and bones grow brittle” (Ross). Overtime, it might be enough to kill humans or make them so weak they couldn’t walk.

Space has lots of radiation. Exposure to space radiation can have a bad effect on a person’s health. Support C: Travelling and exploring space can actually endanger the life of an astronaut. THIRD POINT:
Also, if they are going to even consider sending people into space they need to double check and triple check everything on that spacecraft. They should, also, test the spacecraft, spaces suits, hab, etc. before they go and send LIVE people into outer space. It is not fair that families have to worry if their loved ones will even come home after traveling into space. It is not fair that the space crew has to worry if they will even make it back to the ship alive because they are traveling to a place that is not even relevant to anyone or anything that we do on
Every 33 seconds, a child is involved in a car accident (Herrick). Do you have any younger siblings, cousins, nieces or nephews? Are any of these kids small or young enough to need some type of car seat or booster seat? I did research on the topic of child car seats and I believe that it is a very important topic. Today, I am going to try and persuade you that children should always be put in the proper safety restraint in a car.
A. Problem: How many people still do not wear their seat belts and the consequences that come with that.
Because the Martian air contains mostly carbon dioxide with only trace amounts of oxygen, the Hab is outfitted with an atmospheric regulator to simulate Earth’s atmosphere, provide sufficient oxygen, and keep astronauts healthy. When Mark is out on the surface of Mars performing Extra-Vehicular Activities (EVAs), he carries more oxygen than he requires, and the EVA suit’s filters absorb and eliminate the carbon dioxide he creates while breathing. He records in a log entry that “the limiting factor to life support [is] [n]ot the amount of oxygen you bring with you, but the amount of CO_2 you can remove” Weir 5. He is able to make use of his extensive knowledge on the atmosphere and what it is made up of to manipulate the atmospheric regulator and EVA suits, extending the time he is able to survive on Mars after his fellow crewmates abandoned
Along with that line, if a health and clothed individual is exposed to high altitudes of about 45,000 feet above sea level, he or she is likely to lose consciousness within 9-12 seconds (Payne, 2014). In addition, death occurs afterward due to significant declines in oxygen’s partial pressure, which is low at high altitudes. Therefore, the air manifests such behavior since it consists of a mixture of gases. From that perspective, the air is subjected to different laws, which apply to all gases. In this case, various rules can be utilized to explain their application in aviation and implications on human physiology. To be precise, the general principles of flight physiology are based on independent variables exemplified by volume, barometric pressure, and temperature (Quizlet,
Is there such thing as life outside of Earth? The building blocks of life are carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen. Those ingredients condense to form all living things, new stars and even new planets! So, who’s to say those ingredients didn’t form other life on other planets? Think about how vast outer space is. There are millions and millions of other planets, stars and galaxies! It’s not that far out there to think that there might be other life in space, in fact, some people even have stone hard evidence that supports the idea of “aliens”. I personally believe there is such thing as extraterrestrials, and I believe they have visited earth before. As a child, I remember my dad and I would sit around all afternoon watching alien documentaries or shows about people hunting aliens and searching for UFOs. When it comes to aliens people have so many questions; have aliens been to earth before? Are they currently living on earth? Are they controlling us? Does the government know? If so, are they hiding it from the public? There are so many questions you can ask but, in order to answer them, you have to
When talking about the current space program, Neil Degrasse Tyson once said, “I got angry with America, because advancing is not just something you do incrementally. You need innovation as well, so that your advances are revolutionary, not merely evolutionary” (Tyson 3). America used to have the top space program in the world. Being first to the moon excited the country and gave everyone a sense of pride and fulfillment. Lately, though, we have been falling behind in space exploration. A successful space program is needed in America, and here’s why: we are losing our grip on the title as the world superpower and a new age of economics and politics is coming faster than we are prepared for. To be prepared for this new age we need the funds,
Imagine a ten year old innocent girl, her parents whom she dearly loved slaughtered in front of her, her siblings being sold into prostitution, slavery or to guerrilla forces as child soldiers. Rape, theft, murder, genocides and other injustice doing is her daily “playground”. Now stop imaging, the common American seems to be oblivious to current events going on worldwide, because such girls exist in war torn places such as Iraq, Syria and Democratic Republic of Congo. If Conscription, the practice of ordering people by law to serve the armed forces were enforced then we might not have to let ten year old girls endure such hardship. Conscription is being used in countries like Switzerland, Austria and Finland, their citizens will never have
History is undoubtedly an important part of the bullshit information we are fed today, and a lot of it, for the most part, makes at least some bit of sense. But the times it doesn't. The time's things were flat out ridiculous, to the point of just being hilarious, those are the seemingly boring events that, if you knew the full extent of, will make your 10th-grade world history class worth losing countless hours of time and sleep over. Bird Holocaust China has been the king of making dumbass decisions since God knows when, primarily due to the fact they have about as much luck with finding leaders as you had with finding a date in middle school, but this one takes the cake. 1959 leader, Mao Zedong, decided that his wonderful country
After 40 seconds of exposure in the space, if you are not dead already, your entire
Humans can expect to face some major challenges on an expedition to Mars. It has been proven that humanity can travel in space for over two years. Cumulatively, Sergei Constantinovich Krikalev, a Russian cosmonaut, has spent over eight-hundred and three days in Earth orbit (Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center, 2005). The expedition to Mars would require the crew to endure a six month journey to the planet, a year of living on the planet, and a six months journey back to Earth. Russian cosmonaut, Valery V. Polyakoz, clocking in at four-hundred and thirty-eight days for just one stay in Earth orbit, shows humanity is capable of a twelve month round trip to Mars (Schwirtz, 2009). Earth's orbit has provided some benefits to space exploration, like the magnetic field from cosmic radiation, and the proximity to Earth if an emergency were to arise (Jones, 2009). The further humans travel away from Earth the greater the risks become. The major risks to human health on a flight to Mars, living on Mars, and returning to Earth are: radiation exposure, biological problems induced by weightlessness, spacecraft malfunctions, and psychological problems brought on by isolation.
Some may think exploring outer space is simply a human’s curiosity. This is true but on the contrary, people explore to learn about things they may have never known and touch on the essence of the creation of the universe. Another reason for exploring this uncharted area is the technological advancements people have made and immense amount of innovation they have achieved in this field (Wood). Lastly, scientists study the other planets just in case one day humans need to relocate after overwhelming damage has been done to Earth. Suffice to say, it is a vital part of today’s day and age to research outer space (Rothery).
