Astronaut

Astronauts are people who go on special trips into outer space in a spacecraft. They wear a suit that helps them to breathe and protects them from the cold and airless environment of space. Astronauts help do science experiments while they're in outer space. They also take pictures and gather data that scientists can use to learn more about space. Astronauts are brave people who are willing to leave the planet and explore what is beyond it.
