How did astronauts survive the temperature on the Moon?

Instead of a $3 oven mitt, Apollo astronauts wore A7-L spacesuits which used a combination of insulation, reflective surfaces, and an ice sublimator to regulate temperature. The suit consisted of many parts, but the biggest were the “Torso-limb suit assembly” and the “Integrated Thermal Micrometeoroid Garment.”

Is Moon hot or cold?

In full sunshine, temperatures on the Moon reach 127°C, way above boiling point. There are 13 and a half days of high temperatures followed by 13 and a half days of darkness, and once the Sun goes down the temperature at the bottom of craters can plummet to -173°C.

How long can you survive on the Moon without a suit?

At most, an astronaut without a suit would last about 15 seconds before losing conciousness from lack of oxygen. (That's how long it would take the body to use up the oxygen left in the blood.)

How long can you survive in Moon?

Results of the research were not unexpected by scientists. However, it seems important to have precise measurements confirming that astronauts can spend 6 months on the Moon without exceeding the legally required limits of NASA in case they live in protected bases.

Can anything survive on the Moon?

Today, the authors wrote, the moon is totally inhospitable to life. It has, they wrote, "no significant atmosphere, no liquid water on its surface, no magnetosphere to protect its surface from solar wind and cosmic radiation, no polymeric chemistry [the building blocks of life], and it is subject to large ...
