... of the Milky Way wouldn't be difficult since we have reasonably good maps of objects like quasars that are very far away that we could use for directional markers. ---- Answer provided by Dirk Terrell, Ph.D. Image:K2S logosmall.jpg Question and Answer extracted from the book Kids to Space - by ...

14. If we were to go out of the Milky Way, would we be lost forever? (A K2S Question)

... our galaxy, as with all others, moves in a very predictable way. There are many computer programs that can track objects in space even if they can't be seen. If you somehow left the galaxy you could find your way home again. ---- Answer provided by Jim Zebrowski Image:K2S logosmall.jpg Question and Answer extracted from the book Kids to ...

83. Will we ever be able to go out of the spaceship? And would we float away? (A K2S Question)

... to keep a crewman from floating away. NASA uses two methods: tethers and spacesuits with backpacks that have small cold gas jets for moving around. But floating away could be a real possibility if you aren't careful. ---- Answer provided by Jon H. Brown Image:K2S logosmall.jpg Question and Answer extracted from the book Kids to Space - by Lonnie ...

08. What is the exact distance to the edge of the Milky Way? (A K2S Question)

... I find it hard to think in thousands of millions of miles. When we leave our solar system and think of our galaxy, the Milky Way, it is so much more immense that we have to use different ways to describe distances. So we use light years. That sounds like a measurement of ...

12. When we are in space, how does the Milky Way look? Would we be able to see it? (A K2S Question)

From orbit, the Milky Way would look very similar to the way it does here on Earth. It would be brighter and you would have an easier time seeing the distinct stars, but otherwise it would look the same. ---- Answer provided by Jim Zebrowski Image:K2S logosmall.jpg Question and Answer extracted from the book ...

02. If we are floating, how will we know which way is up and which way is down? If the floor and the ceiling look alike, how will we know which is which, or doesn't it matter? (A K2S Question)

... we have found is that when you float into a room, you think the ceiling is above you, and the floor is below. If I happened to enter sideways— for example, if I ... through the tunnel to the space lab—and started floating along the side of the tunnel instead of along the bottom and then entered the space lab with the side wall beneath me, my first thought would probably be "Gee, the floor ...

20. How many g's will we sustain going out of and coming into our atmosphere during our space vacation? Will we black out? Can g-forces cause severe harm to the human body if you're not trained for it? (A K2S Question)

... to acceleration. As little as four g's can cause a person to black out without the aid of a g-suit. With a g-suit the human body can handle seven g's sustained. Blacking out from g-forces can cause brain damage or even death if blood flow to the ...

14. If we could cultivate plants in space, would we be able to produce our own oxygen supply? (A K2S Question)

... the humans produce and convert that back to oxygen for human reuse. In an area of about 53.8 square feet (about the size of a dining room table), we could convert all the C02 and produce all of the O2 necessary to keep a ...

04. If we were to play music or sing in space would it echo, or be soundless? (A K2S Question)

It would be soundless since there is no atmosphere to cause the sound waves to move from point A to point B. ---- Answer provided by Lonnie Moffitt & Cdr. USN Robert L. Curbeam Image:K2S logosmall.jpg Question and Answer extracted from the book Kids to ...

11. Will we ever be able to actually land on and visit any planets? Which ones other than Earth would we be able to go to? How many planets will be open to the public? (A K2S Question)

... probably the planet that will receive the first visitors from Earth, and it may be the only one for a very long time. It would take a couple of years to go there and return, so it would be a really long vacation Big outer planets like Saturn and Jupiter are balls of gas, so it would not be a good idea to try to land ...
