Frequently asked
How long does it take to become an astronaut?
Becoming an astronaut typically takes 10 to 15 years of education and training. This includes earning advanced degrees, gaining relevant work experience, completing NASA's rigorous selection process, and undergoing extensive astronaut candidate training that lasts about two years.
What do astronauts eat in space?
Astronauts eat specially prepared foods that are freeze-dried, thermostabilized, or ready-to-eat. Popular space foods include shrimp cocktail, beef stew, and M&Ms. They add water to rehydrate many meals and eat from pouches to prevent food from floating away.
How do astronauts sleep in space?
Astronauts sleep in small crew quarters attached to the walls of the space station. They zip themselves into sleeping bags tethered to prevent floating away. Without gravity, they can sleep in any orientation, including upside down or sideways.
