"Space...the final frontier."
- Star Trek television series
Since the 1960s, more than 500 people have traveled in outer space. Russian Yuri Gagarin became the first human in space during a 1961 mission. Early space flights were short because scientists were unsure of how long people could survive away from their planetary home. Today, some astronauts live on the space station for more than a year at a time.
Did you know? The word astronaut is derived from the Greek words for "star" and "sailor." Therefore, an astronaut is anyone who has 'sailed among the stars' - a person who has flown in outer space, beyond the earth's atmosphere. Other countries, such as Russia and China, use terms such as cosmonaut and taikonaut, meaning "universe sailor" and "space sailor," respectively.

6. Add detail to the body of the spacesuit. Draw a straight, horizontal line in the middle, and attach it to the sides using curved lines. Draw three small circles beneath this line. From two of the circles, extend sets of curved, parallel lines to the sides of the spacesuit. Band the enclosed shape using short, curved lines.

8. Draw a curved line beneath the helmet to indicate the neck, then draw the arms. Draw a long, curved line from the bottom of the helmet. As the line reaches the waist, extend it outwards then double it back upon itself, forming the hand. Use another curved line to outline the thumb and the underside of the arm. Repeat on the opposite side.

Finally, draw a curved line across each arm to separate the glove from the suit.
