What are the pros and cons of being an astronaut?

Answer 1

· Salt and pepper are available but only in a liquid form.

· Because astronauts can't sprinkle salt and pepper on their food in space. salt and pepper would simply float away

· There is a danger they could clog air vents, contaminate equipment or get stuck in an astronaut's eyes, mouth or nose.

· no refrigerators in space, so space food must be stored and prepared properly to avoid spoilage, especially on longer missions

· Space food comes in packages that must be disposed.

· Must throw their packages away in trash compactor inside space shuttle when done eating.

· Other foods require adding water, such as macaroni and cheese or spaghetti

· There are only four bunk beds in the space shuttle. So that means on missions with five or more astronauts, the other crewmembers have to sleep in a sleeping bag attached to their seats or to a wall

· Currently, space station crews have three astronauts living and working in space for months at a time.

· Where does the third astronaut sleep? If it's okay with the commander, the astronaut can sleep anywhere in the space station so long as they attach themselves to something.

· The excitement of being in space and motion sickness can disrupt an astronaut's sleep pattern.

· Sleeping in close quarters can also be disruptive since crewmembers can easily hear each other.

· Sleeping in the shuttle's cockpit can also be difficult since the Sun rises every 90 minutes during a mission. The sunlight and warmth entering the cockpit window is enough to disturb a sleeper who is not wearing a sleep mask.
