Unbelievable reasons for people to die outside the universe

These are small things that can rob the lives of space astronauts at any time.

A few decades ago, space travel was one of the most important events of humanity. But now, the dream of flying into space is no longer so far away. With the development of space travel companies, in the near future, people can even spend the summer in the Moon or Mars.

However, before getting ready for such trips, you need to understand the unexpected dangers that can take your life before you can enjoy the feeling of floating outside the Earth.

1. Space dust

If on Earth, small dust particles are often not noticed by humans, in space, you will have to think again about it.

Through analysis, scientists discovered that some types of space dust, such as the Moon, have properties similar to quartz or silicon - toxic substances that cause lung diseases. This dust is easily inhaled, leading to allergies, respiratory obstruction and lung damage.

Moon dust structure under a microscope

In 1972, Jack Schmitt and Gene Cernan returned to the spacecraft to forget to wipe their feet. Consequently, the Moon's dust sealed the joints in space suits and corroded three layers of material against Kevlar bullets on suits.

On the way back to Earth, they had to 'live' with a large amount of Moon dust in the train, to the point that Schmitt was allergic and had to use breathing aids.

The latest discoveries show that Mars dust is far more dangerous, to the point that NASA has placed them in the number one threat when exploring the planet.

Although we have not really determined whether this type of red dust is toxic or not, the fact that they are constantly moving, bumping and eroding objects quickly and not just clinging to the surface like Moon dust is enough. danger.

2. Space garbage

There is an undeniable fact that the launch of explorers and exploratory satellites into space unknowingly carries a huge amount of waste into space. It is estimated that there are currently about 5,500 tons of garbage (about 600,000 objects) larger than 1cm in existence outside the Earth.

It could be exploratory ships, inactive satellites, fragments from explosions, or even small pieces of metal, paint peeling off from the hull . still orbiting Earth's orbit daily, hourly.

And according to scientific calculations, the objects are constantly moving at about 17,000 miles per hour (equivalent to 27.358km / h). Therefore, just a slight collision with the amount of waste can cause new spacecraft to explode.

Collision with small debris but great speed is like hitting meteorites

In 1967, NASA's Mariner 4 spacecraft was caught in a cluster of cosmic waste. The astronauts described that: 'That rain of garbage is no less than the Leonid meteor storm' . The garbage meteorites eventually broke a part of the hull, making Mariner 4 unable to return to Earth on the right track.

3. Static electricity

On Earth, we are accustomed to experiments such as rubbing a pen on a woolen cloth, felt cloth to create static electricity. Those are seemingly harmless currents but if in outer space, static electricity is like a death lightning.

Because there is no water, the outer space air is very dry, leading to static electricity on the planets' surfaces. Therefore, when astronauts explore, they are susceptible to external electrical contamination. This static electricity is so intense that it shortens the astronaut's clothes and causes a shock to the person inside.

In particular, when costumeing an astronaut, it will become a cosmic dust attraction. And we all know how scary that dust is.

Therefore, in order to avoid the harmful effects of static electricity, astronaut suits must now have moisturizers to keep electrons from escaping and prevent this physical phenomenon from occurring.

4. Spaceship runs out of 'battery'

Few people know that spacecraft moving in space uses very little fuel. According to Newton's principle, outer space has no frictional force, so when the spacecraft achieves the highest speed and wins the Earth, the crew can turn off the engine and the ship can still fly normally. .

However, in fact, these spacecraft still need to store a lot of fuel for changing direction and handling incidents. For astronauts, it was no different from the ship's 'battery' being visited by Death.

Specifically, when the spacecraft runs out of fuel, it will continue to travel forever in space in a single direction that astronauts cannot control.

In other words, they would have to watch their spaceship drift by millions of kilometers, losing contact without being able to change anything. The train only stops when they hit an object and explodes.
