Living in Space

Listen to the following link about living in space

http://stardate.org/radio/program/living-space-ii


How would you feel about going to space knowing you would be putting your body at risk to these numerous factors?  Would these factors hinder you from going to space?  Would you be concerned about losing bone density or having your fingernails removed?

I would be scared to be in a small room for a long time I cant be in a small space for very long I get to cloister phobic and I get really scared and I start making really weird noises.No i wouldn't be concerned at all unless its my whole entire finger nail and I would be concerned about losing a bone.

Francis,Jarod said...

like Abby said I also would be scared to be in a small romm for a few years. i mean they don't have skyline, McDonalds, and Subway up in a space station.

Francis,Jarod said...

Definitly my finger nails removed because that has to be very pianful. these things would difinetly keep me from gong into space.

A, Owen said...

I would like to go into space, but I would not like to lose bone density and losing my finger nails. losing your finger nails like Jarod said it has to be very painfull.So I would say yes it would stop me from going into space.

Mrs. Martz said...

To Abbey, Jarod and Owen - I have to agree with you. I don't think that I would really like being out in space for that long. I am very content to explore Earth. There are so many things that I don't know about our own planet

Wall, Alexandra said...

I don't think I would like being in space for that long, especially being cramped in a space suit. I would not like knowing that I could be putting myself at risk, either. I don't think that I would go to space anyways, but these reasons would definetly support my desicion. I would definetly be concerned about losing bone density and having my fingernails removed!!!!!!!! That would hurt! OUCH!!!

oleary stephanie said...

i would feel that i wouldnt want to go beacause ide be to scared and it would be very crammy beacause your in a tiny room for a long time

Kilgore, Sydney said...

I think it would be awesome to go to space but since you have to put you body at risk i dont think i would do it. Losing finger nails would most likely stop me also losing bone density.

Kilgore, Sydney said...

I also agree with abbey about being in a small place. I would not enjoy bein in a crowded place for a long period of time.

kiphart,shane said...

well i would take percoution when going up into space but i fell that gravity and land will do fine for me but yes i would think it would be cool to go up into space

kiphart,shane said...

keisersydney said...

i cant stand being in a small room for a long time and im very squeamish so i would hate having my fingernails removed and it would stink to not to be able to see blue skys and green grass, i would be homesick

anonymous said...

SPACE, awesome! well not really actually scary i am scared to be in tight spaces for long time, and losing a finger nail i couldnt imagine i have caught almost everyone one my finers in a window or a car door and just that hurts so losing a finger nail or bone density no thankyou i might wait awhile to go up into space.

I think going to space would be pretty neat, but i would not like to be cramped in a space suit either. I would not go to space knowing that I would be putting my body at risk. I would definitly be concerned about losing my bone density and having my fingernails removed that would hurt so bad!

Cecil,Tommy said...

I cant stay in one place for a long period of time with a group of people. I would still go into space knowing it could efect me.finger nail loss would slow me down.

Sheridan,Megan said...

Alexandra, I agree with you 100% on what you said. I think having my fingernails removed would hurt bad too!

Reichling,Alex said...

I would like to live in space. I don't think i would worry to much about those problems because you can do things to prevent losing bone density or losing fingers nails. The thing i would like about living in space would be able to float around and do flips and other cool things.

Anonymous said...

i would not like to do that because i could never be able to stay in such a small space for days or even WEEKS i would go crazy i couldnt do it. yes i would not like for my finger nails to be removed that would suck big time also the bone density would be bad

Anonymous said...

my bad years not weeks

Reichling,Alex said...

@ Jarod: I think that if they could have McDonalds up in space i would definitly go without even thinking about it. I dont think i would like a vacume packed turkey or ham sandwhich every day in space.

Anonymous said...

I do think it would be cool to go into space. But to lose bone density and or fingernails which is probley painful yes it would stop me.

Anonymous said...

i agree with alex reichling it would be cool to do flips and stuff i would like seiing outerspace from just a window i would not like to be in a small space for such a long time though

Anonymous said...

I alsao agree with Drew because I don11t like being in tight spaces to long.

keisersydney said...

it would be awesome to go up into space though, we could see the planets up close and if we could walk (or jump) on the moon it would be sweet because there wouldnt be that much gravity to hold us down

Wall, Alexandra said...

How do you talk in a space suit?
Are there microphones??

Royer Rachel said...

If I had to be in space that long I would absoulety hate it in there!!!Also I hate knowing that Im putting my body in danber going up in space.I would definetly be concerned about losing my bone density and my fingernails.I cant even count how many times I lost my fingernail by smashing it in a window or a car door.Thats hurts really bad!!!
OWWWWWWWWW!!

Royer Rachel said...

To Alexandra:
I completly agree with you 100% with about going up into space and losing your fingernails and bone density.Even though going up into space is pretty much a 1 in a lifetime thing I wouldnt want to put my body into danger.

anonymous said...

i would not put my body into risk and i would not like to get my fingernails removed i agree with mrs martz i would way rather stay down here on earth because there is alot of other things on earth i would like to explore.

Breadon,Zac said...

i get claustrophobic when im in an elevator let alone in a little ship for a LONG TIME and the food in space must taste horrible. yea it would be nice to go to the moon but it takes too long i wouldnt do it.

anonymous said...

rachel: i would aso hate to waste my time up in space even know its a once in a lifetime thing and puting your body in danger i would not do that

Jordan,M,Malsbary said...

I could not live in space in a little rocket I have closterfobia. I also would not want to get my fingernail completely removed that would be super painful. I would hate losing bone density because I could loose a bone.

anonymous said...

I would be pretty scared to be in space for a long time too, i'm not claustriphobic or anything but I deffinatly wouldn't find that to be very fun. And besides I wouldn't have anything to do up there for that long! I'd get soo bored! But if I was just visiting space like an astronot then that would be kinda fun. And who WOULDN'T be concerned if they could lose a bone or a fingernail?! Especially if I would put my body at risk.

McGinnis,Ben said...

I would not be able to be in a small room i hate small places when im play hide and seek i cant stay still. I would care about my bones because then i would be weaaker but if my nails just fell off i would be fine but if they were riped off thaat would hurt.

McGinnis,Ben said...

brendan i agree with you i would love to go up but cant staand what might happen

KAM said...

I think that if I have had the chance to go into it would come across as and incredible opportunity...but I would NOT put my body at risk of losing bone density or even finger nails.
Oh, and also Elizabeth in a small area for too long would not make a happy trip...at all!

Brady Farmer said...

I would agree with abby,jarod,owen,and mrs.martz.Being in a small room for a long time could really kill you because you would sufficate.And my fingernails falling off and losing a bone could be deadly because what if you lose your leg or something you need to have to survive?

anonymous said...

I would like to go up into space.But not lose bone density or my finger nails because it would be painful and discusting.

Breadon,Zac said...

i get car sick alot so i do not want to go in a rocket

Breadon,Zac said...

i agree with drew and owen i would not want to loose bone density or my finger nails

Jordan,M,Malsbary said...

I agree with Ben living in a small space would stink.

anonymous said...

Brendan I do agree with you that loseing your finger nails would be painful.

David Meiners

anonymous said...

I would not like to live in space. I don't like being in a small space for a long time. One thing that would tempt me would be zero gravity. I would love to float around as long as there were walls, a cieling, and a floor. I would be worried about losing bone mass because I would need to exercise, and I'm not that type of guy. And why would you need your fingernals removed? I would not like to be a finger-nailess freak.

anonymous said...

I would not like to live in space because you always have to wear a space suit. Also you have no gravity so you wouldn't land on the ground. I happen to like my bones and finger nails so i think ill just stay on earth. plus there no animals i couldn't survive.

Jared, I agree with you about not having Mcdonalds or any fast food places. Maybe they have dehydrated Mcdonalds in little bags. Just add water.

valerierenee7 said...

If I was in a small area for a long time, I would be cloister phobic and start gasping for air.I also wouldnt be concerned at all but only if it was my foot or arm I would be scared to if it was by bone sticking out of my arm.

lemmink,kyle said...

Me and tight spaces no way! Well depending on how tight of a space it is and for how long. That would be really nasty losing a fingernail and losing a bone is making me sick thinking about it. I still think it would be really cool to be in space

Anonymous said...

I would hate being in that tiny space for too long. However, if I had the chance I would go to space. Finger nails grow back, and yeah ok, I would be scared of losing a bone, but if you did the right stuff (protecting yourself, taking care of yourself), it would lower the chance of that happening. I think the risk would be worth it.

freel,amanda said...

I would feel scared because I wouldn't want to be up in a spacecraft and sweating in a spacesuit! Yes, I don't want to ever go up in space, even if I was paid to go up!!! Yes, because it's gross and disgusting and completely not right!!!!!!!

freel,amanda said...

Commenting on Emma Cliffe's:
I agree with you, I wouldn't want to lose a bone but then again if you do the right stuff maybe just maybe it won't happen!!!

Emily Renee Heckman :) said...

I think it would be kind of cool to live in space because we get go in a space ship and go to the moon or another planet. It's cool to learn about the other moons and other planets because we could discover what the history of the planet or moon was like.

-Emily Heckman

Sara said...

I think that the people that go into space are very brave and I would need some time to think about going into space but I dont think I would. Loosing your fingernails, losing bone density... that doesnt sound good. But I would be affraid of hights too, because you ar pretty high up there.

anonymous said...

Living In Space Would Be So Fun Especialy With Zero Gravity That Would Be Bunches Of Fun And I Would Be Able To Breathe In A Small Room For A Few Years It Shouldn't Be That Hard.

SPACE ROCKS!!!!!!!!!(:

~Kristin Murphy.

anonymous said...

i would be freaked out im chlostophobic and if im put into a little room with nothing to do i would go insane and i would get very nocious and probably hurl

-Dylan Humbert

Sara said...

Comenting on Alexandra, yea I think that there are micaphones in the suit, that suit doesnt seem very comfortable.

anonymous said...

I think it would be cool to go in space but I don't know if i'm clastraphobic, so I agree with abby it could be very dangours because you might have a panic atac. I would be concerned because bone density could keep you from doing certain things.

Freudemann,Charles said...

The only reason I want to go into outer space is to float

Emily Renee Heckman :) said...

I want to learn so much more about Venus. I just found out that Venus was also a star. Is that true?

-Emily Heckman

Duebber, Jenna said...

I think I would rather not put myself in a position to lose bone density and muscle density and my nails, but the new suit may help. Although I don't want my body to wear away, I would absolutely love to visit space. I would feel weird having my nails removed. What would take their place????

Duebber, Jenna said...

Also, I don't think I could live without chipotle in space, that would be a problem.

anonymous said...

yea i abby i also hate to be in small places because i also get chlostic phobic

-Dylan Humber

anonymous said...

i think it would be cool to go to space and stuff, but i think it would be cooler to keep my finger nails!

anonymous said...

i like how sam tendem wrote alot in his comment good job!
~Daniel O'Hearn~

anonymous said...

I'm not sure I could live in space for a long period of time because It would feel wierd being up in space for a long Time in a small spaceship or rocket.

Kylie Hayes said...

I wouldnt go to space because if you put your life n that many risk then there could be many chances of complications. Yes, these factors would scary me, I wouldnt be able to go into space with these facts popping in and out of my head. I would be very concerned with losing both my finger nails and my bone density. I would also be comcerned with wondering if I would return to normal state after I got back from space.

anonymous said...

I think it wouldn't be fun being in space because it will cause bone loss (just like in the moviewallie), also there's the loss of gravity which is bad for your body.
Richmond, Alex

Jennifer20107 said...

I wouldn't want to live in space at all, but maybe I would go to space. I wouldn't want to live in space because there is no gravity so I might get frustrated since I can never stand, and there wouldn't be any food for me to eat.
If my fingernail got removed that would feel very weird and it would hurt!
~Jennifer Somtrakool~(:

cade harvey said...

I would be very scared to go to space. But the price is worth it to se the moon and jumping really high would be amazing I would do anything for it.

Ryan Weber said...

I would feel scared because not knowing whats going to happen in life is scary. Also I couldnt imagine it in space. Yes because i couldnt risk floating around and becoming space trash.

imushrush said...

Put me on gas and i`ll do it! I mean as long as i am not feeling pain and haveing fun good enough plus it would be a one in a life oppurtunity so heck i`ll regret doing it while feeling pain but then i`ll get over it.

anonymous said...

i would love to go to space and go gyser diving.also i would like to do rock climbing,water skiing,and mountain biking.i would be worried to lose a bone but not lose fingernails.NATHAN STENGER

Buis,Dylan said...

like abby said a few years in a room no but maybe because of the no gravity i could. they dont have subway the best restraunt.

imushrush said...

Buelterman,Abbey
i totally disagree you got to do it if you get the chance

Giblin, Keegan said...

At Nathan
I would probely snowboard if I wouldn't DIE when I touched the ground.

anonymous said...

i think it would be cool to live in space and to see all of the moons but i would be kind of afraid to live up in space because all of the rocks crashing together kristan dalton

Kamilah Williams said...

i would be scared to live in space. What happens if you were on a moon then crash a asteroid and the moon would blow up and you will too

noah hartman said...

is this a trick question yes id be concerned who wouldnt to loose a bone thats serious and i agree with abbey im a little clostrophobic i would not do that no way no how in fact i dont even like flying so i would not even go to space lol

anonymous said...

i agree owen i think that would be fun just to jump of and do summersalts im space kristan dalton

Jenn Davis said...

I would still want to go but I would just want to go for a short amount of time so it wouldn't effect me much. I would be worried about losing bone density and mabye my fingernails. I guess I would ger used to not having fingernails after awhile it I did though.

anonymous said...

I would feel nervous to go into space because you would be risking your life to come home. These factors would not concerne me from going into space because then I can say I went to space. I would be a little freaked out about losing bone density and having my fingernails removed.

anonymous said...

I like what Jarod said about you would have no good food and all of it would be frezeed dried.
Andrew Hudson

Bass,Zoey said...

i wold feel terrified if i had to go into space! i would probably go crazy being in a small compartment for a long period of time. i would not put myself in any of those numerouse factors. i think it would look weird if you didnt have any bone density and not having any fingernails!

Hutson,Caleb said...

I;m with jarod i would have to have some good food up in space i mean come on!

cade harvey said...

Abby B. if I was you I would worry about much more like your oxygen. You woulden't lose a bone but explode!

PAPATHANAS,ANTHONY said...

I would not want to be in a small space for a long time either also i would defiently want to lose a bone or my finger nails. Also we dont know that much about the earth thats why i would want to stay because. we know more about the moons surface than the oceans on our planet.

PAPATHANAS,ANTHONY said...

Also i agree with Abby i would not want to lose a full finger nail.

cade harvey said...

Dear Andrew, You would not lose your finger nail but you would lose all your oxygen and your face would puff upp with so much pressur that your face well literally blow up!
