The quest for knowledge is worth dying for. Do you realize how many people have been killed in the quest for knowledge? Humans have been doing it for thousands of years.Do you think astronauts were the first to die in the name of science.You had explorers risking there life to find new lands people killed for contradicting religious beliefs.Pilots died trying to make flight possible. You do a disservice to the thousands of people through out history were sacrificed in the name of science so we may better understand our place in the universe. And guess what its not over there will be more who die in the name of science and theyll believe the risks are worth the reward. Just remember alot of people that gave there lives searching for knowledge is one of the reasons your able to have this chat with me now.

You don't need much cooling in space, or on the Moon, as the Sun produces no heat unless there is an atmosphere on the planet/moon. The only heat will be from the physical exertion of the astronaut.
You will find no experiment where a black object has been exposed to the Sun, in space, to see how hot it gets and how quickly. If you do, please post a link to it.
A camera on board India’s maiden unmanned lunar mission Chandrayaan-1 has recorded images of the landing site of US spacecraft Apollo 15, a scientist said on Wednesday, rubbishing conspiracy theories that the fourth US mission to land on the moon four decades back was a hoax.
The scientists also spotted traces of the previous Apollo mission in the images, said Yan Jun, chief application scientist for China's lunar exploration project.

DRAG,Dude,
Sorry you must have missed the point.
If you are totally dead what the heck is knowledge going to do for you???
Say to your decendants FOLLOW your leader???
Get real son and tell me the REWARD a moon jocky gets for risking his life and the welfare of his family???
u kn do it ljb
Ps The chat stuff is totally related to the fact that I never worked for NASA.
Hence is why I am alive and can still type like a free human being.

You say NASA learned something from the death of Guss ( the Best Dern Astronaut ever) (you don't say what)
After the fire, the Apollo project was grounded for review and re-design. The Command Module was found to be extremely hazardous and in some instances, carelessly assembled (for example, a misplaced socket wrench was found in the cabin.)[46]
It was decided that remaining Block I spacecraft would only be used for unmanned Saturn V test flights. All manned missions would use the Block II spacecraft, to which many Command Module design changes were made:
The cabin atmosphere at launch was changed to 60% oxygen and 40% nitrogen at sea-level pressure (14.7 psi or 1013 millibars). During ascent the cabin rapidly vented down to 5 psi (345 millibars), releasing approximately 2/3 of the gas originally present at launch. The vent then closed and the environmental control system maintained a nominal cabin pressure of 5 psi as the spacecraft continued into vacuum. The cabin was then very slowly purged (vented to space and simultaneously replaced with 100% oxygen), so the nitrogen concentration fell asymptotically to zero over the next day. Although the new cabin launch atmosphere was significantly safer than 100% oxygen, it still contained almost three times the amount of oxygen present in ordinary sea level air (20.9% oxygen). This was necessary to ensure a sufficient partial pressure of oxygen when the astronauts removed their helmets after reaching orbit. (60% of 5 psi is 3 psi, compared to 20.9% of 14.7 psi, or 3.07 psi in sea-level air.)
The environment within the astronauts' pressure suits was not changed. Because of the rapid drop in cabin (and suit) pressures during ascent, decompression sickness was likely unless the nitrogen had been purged from the astronauts' tissues prior to launch. They would still breathe pure oxygen, starting several hours before launch, until they removed their helmets on orbit. Avoiding the "bends" was considered worth the residual risk of an oxygen-accelerated fire within a suit.
Nylon used in the Block I suits was replaced in the Block II suits with Beta cloth, a non-flammable, highly melt-resistant fabric woven from fiberglass and coated with Teflon.
Block II had already been planned to use a completely redesigned hatch which opened outward, and could be opened in less than ten seconds. Concerns of accidental opening were addressed by using a cartridge of pressurized nitrogen to drive the release mechanism in an emergency, instead of the explosive bolts used on Project Mercury.
Flammable materials in the cabin were replaced with self-extinguishing versions.
Plumbing and wiring were covered with protective insulation.
1,407 wiring problems were corrected.]
Then NASA went on to kill yet more folks and that's just routine for you
You would think the Chines would jump on the moon landing hoax.
I just went on the nasa site and they claim to use latent heat exchangers which use evaporation to rid themselves of heat. This excess humidity is supposedly vented. I'm sure this is the air conditioning that
they are suggesting. This is the same type of process used in large buildings usually on the roofs of them.

no one expects to die, they just know thats its a possibility, but to be part of the quest for knowledge is quite the motivation to do things.
astronauts are part of something larger, they have seen things that none of us will get to see with our own eyes, experience things we can only dream of. The difference between you and them was they had the will and passion to make history happen, they knew the dangers they just dont expect it to happen.
Yes.....one WOULD think that, in this DAY and AGE the Chinese would "jump" on "moon landing hoax" that "might" have been ONCE perpetuated by the United States....back in the late 1960s - early 1970s........

Im afraid you dont get it or for that matter understand humans at all.Just because you have no curiosities about the world around you doesnt mean others dont. Luckily the world wasnt populated with people like you.There is risks involved in learning new things.Not everyone is intent on spending there lives sitting at home watching TV. You have people that risk there lives everyday to better mankind. Through science arts medicine you really cant be that dense. Just because you dont understand why someone would want to know more about the universe the world we live in. People take risks if everyone played it safe like you we would still be hunting with spears in the plains of africa because you would have been to scared to see whats over that next hill.
