... orbit. How long an orbit takes depends on how high above the Earth the orbit is. For low Earth orbit (about 200 miles above the Earth) it takes about 90 minutes to complete a full orbit. Some orbits are further away and that means it takes ...
The time it takes to travel to the Moon is largely a function of the amount of energy used to leave an orbit around the Earth. It could vary from two or three days to longer depending on the transfer orbit being used to reach the ... (but constantly) and take a long time to get there, measured in weeks and months. This option is foreseen for supplies and scientific probes. The European Space Agency ...
Getting acclimated to space really varies with the individual and the amount and kind of training each has had. I believe that it was a testament to my training that after just a day in space, I fully adapted to weightlessness ...
The time it takes to travel from any point in space to another point is completely dependent upon the form of propulsion used. For astronauts these days the Shuttle is used. This fires liquid ... to the Space Station and back again. Between an orbiting hotel and the Moon, which is about 236,000 miles from Earth, it would take a matter of days using a standard liquid propellant fuel. Between planets ...
... as possible. Payload carried to orbit is less than one percent of the vehicle. Every component must be carefully analyzed to make sure it is strong enough to function safely, yet as ... the functions required even under extreme and unusual circumstances. Everything must be tested before it is assembled and again after it is assembled. So, designing, building and testing a new rocket vehicle to take ...

I would imagine that sometimes the astronauts feel annoyed that they have to be strapped in to go to sleep or by the fact that they always have to be holding ...
When using the ISS or Shuttle telephone, it does not take much longer to make a connection than it does here on Earth. Connections are not a problem. The ground controllers are in constant communication— with the exception of some short periods of time—and whenever the astronaut wants to talk to the ...
That depends on how far away the star is. Polaris, for example, is over 400 light years away so it takes the light over 400 years to reach us.
