SPACE SUIT Kaitlyn & Karla <3 :-) $
1. What are the main parts of a space suit? How do they work? The main parts of a space suit is .a water-colored nylon undergarmrent .a multi-layered pressure suit .inside-layered - light weight nylon with fabric vents. These are the main parts of a space suit.

2. Do astronauts have to wear the space suits all the time? Why or why not? No, because when your inside you have oxgen and when your out in space you can get these side effects

3. What are some safety measures that are built into space suits? Some safety measures are the suit protects you from radiation of some degrees.They also protect you from micro meteroids. The radiation of some degree can cause your tissues to expand because your fluids would boil. The micro meteroids would move at a fast speed and would hit you might even kill you. That is why the space suit has safety measures.

4. Do you think space suits are comfortable? Why or why not?

**So in my opinion is I think space suits are comfortable for that information.** @http://www.pbs.org/spacestation/station/living_spacesuit.htm http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/History /SP-4026/noord47.html @http://science.howstuffworks.com/space-suit.htm @http://www.fi.edu/pieces/hiley/history.htm @http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/living/index.html @http://science.howstuffworks.com/space-suit1.htm @http://iss.jaxa.jp/kids/en/life/02.html http://www.thefutureschannel.com/dockets/space/second_skin/ - Possible Space Suit to come
 * The Mercury suit was worn “soft” or un-pressurized and served only as a backup for possible spacecraft cabin pressure loss — an event that never happened. Limited pressurized mobility would not have been a problem in the small Mercury spacecraft cabin. **
 * The Mercury spacesuit also had laced boots, a helmet that attached via a collar ring, and gloves. The suit was cooled with an external fan unit that the astronaut carried. The astronaut received oxygen from the spacecraft via hoses connected to the suit. Again, the suit was only pressurized in the event that the cabin pressure failed. **
 * This suit would not be good enough for journeys to the moon and even less suited to a moon walk. A new suit had to be designed for the Apollo Missions. **
