    Why did the characters wear space suits?

    • For fashion

    • To survive in space

    • So they could fly

    • To scare people

    Correct Answer
    A. To survive in space
    Explanation
    The characters wore space suits to survive in space. In the vacuum of space, there is no air or atmospheric pressure, making it impossible for humans to survive without protection. Space suits provide astronauts with a controlled environment, including oxygen supply, temperature regulation, and protection from radiation and micrometeoroids. Wearing space suits ensures that the characters can breathe, maintain their body temperature, and stay safe from the harsh conditions of space.

    What did the astronauts use to keep things attached to the walls?

    • Gum

    • Velcro

    • Duck Tape

    • Gorilla Glue

    Correct Answer
    A. Velcro
    Explanation
    Astronauts use Velcro to keep things attached to the walls in space. Velcro is a type of fastening material that consists of two components: a rough surface with tiny hooks and a soft surface with loops. When pressed together, the hooks latch onto the loops, creating a strong bond. This allows astronauts to easily stick objects to the walls of their spacecraft, preventing them from floating around in microgravity. Velcro is a popular choice in space missions due to its simplicity, effectiveness, and versatility.
