Getting There…
Space Shuttle Facts
1. Space shuttle stack weighs about 4.3 million lbs!
2. The ET is 25.4 feet in diameter and 149 feet tall
3. The SRB’s are 12.5 feet in diameter and 154 feet tall
4. The orbiter’s wingspan is about 78 feet and it is 122 feet long. As tall as the Statue of Liberty!

What if there is a problem after liftoff?
The 4 abort windows:
Liftoff (RTLS)
2 ½ minutes (TAL)
5 minutes (AOA)
8 minutes (ATO)

Ahhh!
The sensation of falling?
Falling towards the Earth
The effects of micro-gravity on the human body
So how does an astronaut…?
The joys and hazards of space walking

So why are the astronauts falling towards the earth in orbit?
To understand how an
astronaut is always falling
towards the Earth while in
orbit, we have to sling a little
water!

Houston!
We have a problem!
Some experiences that make a
space journey more memorable:
Space Sickness
Disorientation
Chipmunk faces
Growing a couple inches taller
What’s sleep?
Nothing tastes good up here!

The Puffy Face Syndrome…
Before Space …. In Space

Gaining an inch or two….
The spine decompresses
on-orbit so you are taller in space!

The Joys and Hazards of Space Walking
The spacesuit
…ah your very own spaceship!
Hazards in space…oops!

The Incredible Spacesuit
Huh, Houston we have problem! I
need to go to the bathroom! (All about
the MAG).
How much does that suit weigh
and how easy is it to work in?
(Working in micro-gravity).
Hey! There’s a hole in my suit!
(So what if a micrometeoroid hits me
during a spacewalk?)

How much does that spacesuit weigh
and how easy is it to work in?
The Incredible Spacesuit!
Early spacesuits were individually tailored for each astronaut. In contrast, the modern spacesuit has component pieces of varying sizes that can be put together to fit any given astronaut.
THEN
NOW

The Spacesuit Weight and Thickness
Weight - 127 kg on Earth,
almost nothing in space!
That’s 280 pounds!
Thickness of most layers
0.48 cm. ( That’s about
3/16’s of an inch!) And the
modern spacesuit has 13
layers!

Ahhhh…the good ole MAG!

So what’s faster than a speeding bullet?
Micro-meteors!
Micro-meteors are very small pieces of fast moving metal, rock or combination of both. These micro- sized specs travel at 10,000 kilometer per hour!

Holy Comets, Batman!
That’s 6,214 miles per hour!
