578 - How do astronauts survive in space?

Astronauts survive in space with special equipment and supplies. Here's how:

1. Space Suits: They wear special suits that keep them safe from the extreme temperatures, radiation, and lack of air in space.
2. Oxygen Supply: They have a tank that gives them oxygen to breathe.
3. Food and Water: Astronauts eat special food that can last a long time and drink water that's stored in bottles or made from recycling their own water.
4. Shelter: They live in a special spacecraft or space station that protects them from space's dangers.
5. Exercise: They have to exercise regularly to stay healthy in zero gravity.
6. Communication: They have a special way to talk to people back on Earth, so they can get help if they need it.

All these things help astronauts survive in space, where it's really different from Earth.
