SPACE SUIT Ryan Hailey Jenni G.
1. What are the main parts of a space suit? How do they work? A space suit is made up of the lower torso assembly, hard upper torso , arm assembly , gloves , and the helmet. All these these parts all keep humans from the harsh conditions out in space.

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? one of the safety measures is oxygen. 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?

I don't think that space suits are comfortable on earth because there is gravity, but on space there is no gravity and that makes the space suit unheavy and in my opinion I think it would be comfortable.
