At what point can an astronaut take off their helmet and why do they need to wear one for take off? (Asked by an actual 5 year old)
In: Physics
I do have a related question…
If there is an emergency and a hole gets knocked in the side of the space capsule so that the air is lost, though the ship is otherwise okay, what are the options in most cases for getting the astronauts back? Do they expect to try to dock with, or EVA (spacewalk) to the ISS and wait for another mission, or can they possibly deorbit and hope their ship holds? Obviously, it would depend on the circumstances.
