... same rate. We think of it as being weightless and it allows astronauts and any objects not tied down within the spacecraft to float freely. The closest the astronauts can describe it is ... counterbalanced by the water and you can propel yourself through the pool with easy arm strokes and leg kicks. This is exactly what it feels like in space but without the water. And it does take some time to get used to moving in this environment. You have to be very ...

Since you can already float in space, swimming in a blob of water wouldn't be much fun. The water won't stay in a pool in micro-gravity, so you would have to have a swimming ...

It is a lot of fun to float in space, and yes, you would float like the astronauts in the movies, but better since you are actually in space ---- Answer provided by Byron Lichtenberg, Ph.D. Image:K2S logosmall.jpg Question and Answer extracted from the book Kids to Space - by ...

... our computers, and we can talk to teachers on Earth via a radio link, and even hook up a small TV camera to see each other. If we work in space or on the Moon, then that is where we would be going to work. But to travel back and ... to work would be very difficult because it takes too long to travel. When we go to space, we will bring a special computer with us. ---- Answer provided by John Cavallaro Image:K2S ...

Food can float around in space like anything else, so we eat it very carefully.

... Earth. We will likely need facilities in space to deal with the remoteness of human settlements and to deal with the great distances and times between various locations in space. It is likely that we will eventually want to create a gravity station that provides a more Earth-like gravity so that we don't spend all of our time floating around in ...

Most engineers expect we will use special spacecraft that are meant to operate only in space to land on the Moon or Mars.
