Space travelers on ... time zone is Central Time, the time zone in Houston, Texas, where NASA scientists operate Mission Control for the Space Shuttle and other missions. For others, like the Mars Rovers, Mission Control is in California (Pacific Time) or in ...

There are no time zones in space.

Since there is no oxygen in space, and we need oxygen to feed a fire, there are no fires found in space. This does not mean we should not be concerned about fires on board ... was an extensive and almost disastrous fire on board the Russian MIR Space Station that took quite a bit of time for cosmonauts and astronauts to extinguish. Since then, NASA has made ... of how fire propagates in the confines of a micro-gravity environment on board a large orbiting spacecraft like the ISS. To better understand how fires can spread in space, astronauts and cosmonauts ...

... answer is yes—mostly because children are still doing a lot of growing and gravity is necessary for bones, muscles and internal organs to develop correctly. Also there is more radiation in space that might affect children's rapidly growing systems. Once we have a way to produce a gravity field in space and have good radiation protection, then children will be in ...
