Curiosities about NASA

NASA is one of the most respected and interesting agencies in the world due to the great research they have carried out and is carrying out on space and life in the afterlife. Although it is true, for many years there has been a doubt that NASA keeps great secrets, but no data has ever been revealed that leaves us stunned, however, below we will tell you some of the curiosities about NASA.

1. Travel into space is harmful to the environment and even to the health of astronauts, since the gas emissions produced by ships during a trip are highly toxic due to the components that are expelled.

2. The lack of gravity makes some essential human tasks such as brushing teeth, washing hair and eating, become complicated, which is why dehydrated foods, dry shampoo and toothpaste and edible brushes were created.

3. Astronauts are trained underwater so they learn to float and move.

4. The first female astronaut to travel into space was Valentina Tereshkovai in 1973.

5. Although it sounds illogical, NASA received a lawsuit from the alleged owners of Mars, a group of people from the Yemen Republic. The lawsuit was because the agency illegally occupied said planet when Curiosity arrived on Mars in 2012. Those who seem to be the owners claimed that they received an inheritance from their ancestors and this was the planet.

6. NASA provides a service to those who are passionate about astronomy, which is based on sending a text message warning when the International Space Station is orbiting above you, obviously to see it you must have a telescope.

7. Astronauts really grow when they are in space between two and five centimeters and this is due to the absence of gravity, as it causes the vertebrae to separate and the spine to expand.

8. The astronauts' suit weighs between 100 kilos and 150 kilos to take care of their health and thus return to Earth alive. In addition, this garment can cost 22 million euros and that is why NASA only has 11 suits.

9. Due to the weight of NASA suit gloves, astronauts' fingernails fall off and their hands end up covered in blisters and cuts.

10. Sleeping in space is almost impossible because the Sun rises every 90 minutes.
