The shuttle of the missioners is especially designed to
defeat the space gravity and Newton's Law: special cabins with beds, ways for
eating…
Moreover in space, there is no air nor air pressure, so it is
theoretically impossible to breath by our own out there. The temperature is
extremely low, unless you face the sun's rays that could simply burn you as
long as there is no atmosphere or any layer (e.g. ozone layer) to protect the
body. That is why Astronauts
must wear spacesuits whenever they leave a spacecraft and are exposed directly to
the environment of space. Without all this protection, an astronaut would
quickly die. "Spacesuits are specially designed to protect astronauts from
the cold, radiation and low pressure in space. They also provide air to breath,
water to drink and even a built in toilet! Wearing a spacesuit allows an
astronaut to survive and complete his mission."
