10 Facts About Magic Life In Outer Space

One day experiencing sunrise 17x


The sun rises and sets every 90 minutes in orbit, making it very difficult to sleep soundly in the absence of a normal day / night cycle. To overcome this, the administrator ISS astronauts set a schedule to keep their activities accordingly. ISS onboard clock set to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). To keep the astronauts remain on schedule, Mission Control call waking. To fill the time they usually play music and similar activities

You Will Grow higher






Without the compression force of gravity, your spine to grow and you grow taller, usually between 5cm and 8cm. Unfortunately, extra height can bring complications, which can include back pain and nerve problems.

Stop Snoring when asleep



A 2001 study showed that astronauts who snored on Earth asleep silently in space. That's because gravity plays a dominant role in the generation of apneas, hypopneas, and snoring. NASA even has recorded the activities of crew who often snore, but the effects of zero gravity appears to reduce snoring.

Some foods and herbs require the addition of water to be eaten 



In the plane, salt and pepper are available but only in liquid form. This is because the astronauts do not sprinkle salt and pepper on their food in space. Salt and pepper would simply float. It is very dangerous because it could clog air vents, contaminate equipment or get stuck in the mouth, eyes or nose astronauts. 

Oldest astronaut who lived on planes during 438 days 


The record for the longest mission held by Russian cosmonaut Valeri Polyakov, who completed 438 days (or 14 months) travel in the space station Mir in 1995 

Only 3 people have ever died in a spacecraft 



 The crew of Soyuz 11, Georgi Dobrovolski, Vladislav Volkov and Viktor Patsayev, was killed after undocking from space station Salyut 1 after only three weeks.

Almost every astronauts experience space sickness


In the absence of gravity, signals from the system vestibulary and pressure receptors become chaotic. The effect usually leads to disorientation of the body: many astronauts suddenly find themselves just as upside down, or even have difficulty in sensing the location of their own arms and legs. This disorientation is the main cause of the so-called Space Adaptation Syndrome

The most difficult thing is to Adaptation when you return from space




When they returned to Earth, astronauts have to adapt again like experience when they first into space. There is one phase of adaptation a little time for the habit, kosmonotRusia Some have reported that several months after the flight, they still occasionally let go cups or other objects in the air - and confused when it fell to the floor

Cosmic Radiation create glare vision




Staring out of their space capsules, Apollo astronauts witnessed sights that humans had never seen before. They see the sights of the earth that blue light on. They saw the far side of the Moon. They also saw strange flashes of light inside their eyeballs!.

You may have to take sponge baths for personal hygiene




While stations such as Skylab and Mir have been equipped with shower, bath sponge Many astronauts replace using a washcloth or wet towel. This will reduce the amount of water consumed. Each astronaut will also have a personal hygiene kit with a toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, razors and other basic toiletries.
