The most immediate threat in the cosmic vacuum is oxygen deprivation. Assuming that you don’t hold your breath during decompression, it will take about 15 seconds for your O2 deprived blood to get to your brain. Simple loss of oxygen will likely kill you faster than anything else in the vacuum of space.

Because the planet rotates on its axis (every 24.6 hours), it bulges at the equator (as do Earth and other planets). At its equator, Mars has a diameter of 4,222 miles (6,794 km), but from pole to pole, the diameter is 4,196 miles (6,752 km).

about 12,756 kilometers

Mars (diameter 6790 kilometers) is only slightly more than half the size of Earth (diameter 12750 kilometers). Note the difference in color between the two planets.

Surprisingly, that isn’t the biggest problem associated with farting in space. Though you’re definitely more likely to worsen a small fire when you fart, it won’t always injure or kill you. The worst part about farting in space is the lack of airflow. Let’s take a step back and remember how farting on Earth works.

It is worn by both male and female astronauts. Astronauts can urinate into the MAG, and usually wait to defecate when they return to the spacecraft. However, the MAG is rarely used for this purpose, since the astronauts use the facilities of the station before EVA and also time the consumption of the in-suit water.

On the International Space Station (ISS), urine is sent through a network of hoses and is eventually recycled into drinking water. Feces collected aboard the ISS are sucked into a canister, which is then shot back toward Earth. (Don’t worry, it burns up in the atmosphere.)

All astronaut pee is collected and turned back into clean, drinkable water. Astronauts say that “Today’s coffee is tomorrow’s coffee!” Sometimes, astronaut poop is brought back to Earth for scientists to study, but most of the time, bathroom waste — including poop — is burned.

Today, astronauts at the International Space Station go to the bathroom into a little plate-sized toilet hole, and a fan vacuum sucks their excrement away and a separate funnel equipped with a fan suction their pee away.

While this greatly exceeds the density of the solar wind, which is usually on the order of just a few protons per cubic centimeter, it is virtually a vacuum in comparison with the atmosphere of the Earth. The Moon may also have a tenuous “atmosphere” of electrostatically levitated dust.

Four of them are still living as of April 2021. All crewed lunar landings took place between July 1969 and December 1972 as part of the Apollo program….Apollo astronauts who walked on the Moon.

Neil Alden Armstrong (August 5, 1930 – August 25, 2012) was an American astronaut and aeronautical engineer, and the first person to walk on the Moon. He was also a naval aviator, test pilot, and university professor.

At the time of the Apollo 11 flight in 1969, Neil Armstrong was paid a salary of $27,401 and was the highest paid of the flying astronauts, according to the Boston Herald. That translates to $190,684 in 2019 dollars.
