    The astronaut will keep the same speed as the astronaut floats in space. Since it does not adjust its track, the resistance it encounters will increase and will be swallowed by the resistance.

    Judging by the common sense of physics, in the case of degravity and without any blocking force, it will always do uniform linear motion.

    If you don't get help or save yourself in time, then what awaits is the consequences of death.

    If you fall from the space station, you may be hit by a meteorite, or some garbage in the space, or you may be torn apart, or you may be washed away somewhere else, and you will never come back, which is very dangerous anyway.

    As we all know, astronauts are a very dangerous profession. Both physically and mentally must undergo rigorous tests to become a qualified astronaut. Therefore, it is very dangerous for astronauts to leave their houses on Earth while they work and live on the space station.

    If they fall unexpectedly, they will not fall vertically as they do on Earth. Since space is a vacuum environment, astronauts will be afloat and will continue to move at the same speed as the space station. In the end, it will be devoured due to the increase in resistance.

    No, because there is no gravity in space, if an astronaut does break away from the space station, then he will float in space at will, and the Earth is only a very small part of the whole space, so the chance of eventually falling on the Earth is almost non-existent.

    After all, there is basically no gravitational effect in space, so it is all in a floating state, and there is no force point at all, so once you float up and there is no force point, then your movement direction and action will not be controlled, and you will always float in a state of uncontrol.

    The reason why the planets in the solar system are not sucked into the body by the sun is that the flight speed on a certain orbit, if the speed becomes faster, then it will leave the original orbital position and fly to a distant place, if the wind speed is slow, then it will fly close to the sun, and the small celestial bodies around the planet are actually the same reason, according to the normal speaking, they will be sucked to the planet, but because the flight speed is enough, it is just balanced at a speed position that is not far away from the distance, so it will not go away and will not return.

    Our earth is a little different, our earth's satellite is the moon, about a quarter of the earth, such a volume has its own gravitational attraction between each other, normally 380,000 kilometers of the position is close, should be closer and closer to each other or even slowly collide together, but now the moon is moving away from the earth at a rate of centimeters every year, and the speed of the moon flying around the earth has not changed.

    The reason for this is that on the surface of the earth, 70% of the earth's surface is the ocean area, and there is a thick atmosphere, which is the reason for the ocean and the atmosphere, so that our moon is slowly pushed away from the earth, according to astronomers, 4 billion years ago, the moon was only about 100,000 kilometers away from us, so now the question is, astronauts float out on the space station, whether to fall or leave.

    The reason why the satellite did not fall down hundreds of kilometers above the earth is that the satellite flies around the earth at a fixed flight speed, so it is not attracted back to the earth, nor is it far away, if it is relatively close to the earth in space, then the moving speed is not enough, then it will slowly fall, of course, the speed of this fall is very slow, and even decades or hundreds of years may not really fall back to the earth.

    It stands to reason that the earth has the existence of ocean tides, so that the earth itself has a force to push outward, as long as it is not something that rushes to the earth quickly, then it is basically difficult to fall back to the earth in the earth's orbit, so if the astronauts accidentally float out, then basically they can't return to the earth, they will be slowly pushed into space by the earth's tidal force, and the speed will save the speed of flying out for a long time, and slowly float around the earth near the earth's orbit, and it is possible to fly away from the earth and really fly to the depths of space after countless years. But that's not the case, things in Earth's orbit aren't fast enough and they're slowly falling back into the atmosphere.

    Probably not, because space is gravitational, and astronauts may fall into some other place, and may have been drifting in the universe.

    No, astronauts will definitely float in space, because the gravitational pull of space is very large, and it is very dangerous for astronauts to work in the sky.

    Of course not, there is no evidence to prove that such a statement is very one-sided, and it is also a speculative act.

    In the darkness of space, it is completely vacuum, weightless, and any object is lighter than a feather. Astronauts wear seat belts when working outside the space station, and they can only untie them when they are done and return to the space station. If there is a breakdown in an extravehicular operation, such as a broken seat belt or a tripping safety buckle, it is a major accident.

    The astronauts were connected to the space station without seat belts, and the astronauts took them with them: they stopped breathing when they ran out of oxygen, and the corpses floated into the vastness of space. It is also possible that the gravitational pull of the earth will drift back into the earth's atmosphere and eventually fall into a certain part of the earth or in the ocean.

    It is more likely that the bodies of astronauts will drift into deep space.

    It depends on the situation, but in any case, as long as it takes a long time, because the spacesuit will leak, the person's water will gradually be lost, and finally it will become a dry corpse. If this process is relatively long, then the person will still decompose, no different from the decomposition of corpses on earth.

    However, unlike corpses on Earth, corpse spots do not form in space. This is because space is weightless. After the blood breaks through the blood vessels, it is evenly distributed throughout the body, as on Earth, and the blood settles in the direction of the center of the earth to form corpse spots.

    If the time is short, the spacesuit leaks quickly. Then the corpse will not decay and will directly form a dry corpse. Because, in the case of near a vacuum, the water in the human body boils and is expelled from the body.

    If there really isn't any rescue that can be implemented, then this unfortunate astronaut can only become a satellite of Earth. Constantly circling the Earth, as the altitude slowly decreases, one day it will fall to the Earth, turning into a meteor as it passes through the atmosphere. Such a scene is full of fear, helplessness, and finally calmness.

    Floating in the extreme emptiness of Earth's orbit, you may still be able to move your body while you are still breathless, and you may be able to see the capsule you work in the distance, where your companions are constantly talking to you on the radio.

    But you know that you can only wait slowly for the moment when the oxygen runs out, and finally you turn off the communication and gradually lose consciousness in a state of lack of oxygen, maybe the last picture that flashes in your mind is that your parents, wife and children are waiting for you to come home, but unfortunately you can't go back alive.

    In general, astronauts wear safety ropes when they go on spacewalks. Without a safety rope, there would also be a jet power unit, such as in 1984, when humans first walked without a rope.

    The corpse after death will definitely be slowly decomposed in space.

  12. Anonymous users2024-01-28

    After death, the body should remain in space, and then eventually be disintegrated due to movement, because there was no way to return to the space station before.

  13. Anonymous users2024-01-27

    It is likely that the corpse will be forbidden outside the space station, as gravity and other forces are very weak in the universe.

    Drift into the depths of the universe. Because there is no friction in the universe and it is in a state of weightlessness, the corpse will slowly float into the depths of the universe.

  15. Anonymous users2024-01-25

    After death, the corpse is expected to gradually decompose and disappear into the universe, which is a natural phenomenon.

Astronauts have played a good role in guiding our understanding of the universe, and in our opinion, astronauts are glamorous, but only they know the bitterness behind them. It is very difficult to become a qualified astronaut, and the intense training and layers of screening are all activities that need to be carried out every day. In 1969, human beings entered the universe for the first time, and Armstrong became the first person to walk out of the earth, but many astronauts who came back from the universe began to believe in the existence of gods. >>>More
