The air in space is very sparse and mainly consists of individual atoms and molecules, such as hydrogen and helium. There is no atmosphere in space like we have on Earth, which is necessary for humans to breathe. Astronauts wear spacesuits that provide them with the necessary air to survive in the vacuum of space.

In contrast, in the Earth's atmosphere, rockets have to fight against air resistance which hinders their performance.
