To date no human children have been born in space; neither have children gone into space.
Soviet cosmonaut Ghermon Titov holds the record for the youngest to fly in space.
Since Daemen flew a suborbital mission, Titov remains the youngest man to fly in Earth orbit. Titov's flight finally proved that humans could live and work in space. He was the first person to orbit the Earth multiple times (a total of 17), the first to pilot a spaceship and to spend more than a day in space.
That's with good reason. According to the Beast's reporting, though experiments have seen "limited success" with the offspring of invertebrates and insects, mammals have yet to conceive babies in space that would be able to survive on Earth. As far as we know, though, you pregnancy is absolutely possible.
There's no reason to risk a child's life given our current space involvement. Save your money and buy a ticket when commercial trips are available publicly, but NASA will NOT EVER send a child up for experimenting.
There are reasons no kid has ever flown to space. The chief one, of course, is the danger involved; the death of a child is always more tragic and heart-wrenching, and less acceptable, than the loss of an adult. In addition, the hazards of space radiation are more acute for youngsters than for grown-ups.
Frozen sperm samples can remain viable after exposure to microgravity conditions that are somewhat similar to those found in space, new research reveals.
While sperm themselves might be able to move more freely in microgravity, the bigger challenge might be getting the sperm to fuse with the egg. "Delays or problems at this stage could prevent fertilization from happening in space," according to NASA's web site.
The space radiation did not affect sperm DNA or fertility after preservation on ISS, and many genetically normal offspring were obtained without reducing the success rate compared to the ground-preserved control. The results of ground x-ray experiments showed that sperm can be stored for more than 200 years in space.
If a child has ever been conceived in space, it was definitely off the clock. No-one has ever had sex in space, much less got themselves pregnant, according to both NASA and the Russian Space Agency. Spacecraft are crowded and cramped, with virtually no privacy.
As of Jun 11, 2023, the average annual pay for a Nasa Astronaut in the United States is $46,585 a year. Just in case you need a simple salary calculator, that works out to be approximately $22.40 an hour.
During the Mars-500 experiment, six astronaut crews stayed in an isolated space and lived as if they were on Mars for 520 days. Cosmic radiation and microgravity were not replicated in the experiment, so the slower aging process found by scientists is caused by social isolation and other relative effects.
It appears that space was created in the Big Bang, 13.8 billion years ago and has been expanding ever since. The overall shape of space is not known, but space is known to be expanding very rapidly due to the cosmic inflation.
The Soviet scientists had planned to euthanise Laika with a serving of poisoned food. For many years, the Soviet Union gave conflicting statements that she had died either from asphyxia, when the batteries failed, or that she had been euthanised.
Edwin Hubble: The man who discovered the Cosmos.
In space, there's a much different result. There's no gravity to pull blood into the lower part of the body. Instead, blood goes to the chest and head, causing astronauts to have puffy faces and bulging blood vessels in their necks. And appearance isn't the only ugly side effect.
Blood and other bodily fluids are pulled by gravity into the lower body. When you go to space, gravity weakens and thus fluids are no longer pulled down, resulting in a state where fluids accumulate in the upper body. This is why the face swells in space.
Mark Rober, a former NASA engineer turned YouTuber, attempted the world's highest egg drop experiment and succeeded. You've probably heard of the classic "egg drop" experiment, where a person tries to prevent a raw egg from breaking after dropping it from ever-increasing elevations.
Better have a microscope, because sperm are far too tiny to see with the naked eye. How tiny? Each one measures about 0.002 inch from head to tail, or about 50 micrometers. Of course, what sperm lack in size they more than make up in sheer numbers.
The cloud of water in space covers hundreds of light years, accounting for its remarkable size. The gas cloud's higher temperature, compared to other water in space, is accounted for by the x-rays and radiation emitted from the black hole. These two things ensure that the water in space is constantly heated.
Has Anyone Ever Got Lost in Space? Thankfully, an astronaut being irretrievably stranded away from their spacecraft has never happened before.
During spaceflight. As of March 2023, in-flight accidents have killed 15 astronauts and 4 cosmonauts in five separate incidents. Three of the flights had flown above the Kármán line (edge of space), and one was intended to do so. In each of these accidents the entire crew was killed.
Scientists now consider it unlikely the universe has an end – a region where the galaxies stop or where there would be a barrier of some kind marking the end of space.
Eleven babies have been born in Antarctica, and none of them died as infants. Antarctica therefore has the lowest infant mortality rate of any continent: 0%. What's crazier is why the babies were born there in the first place. These weren't unplanned births.
